In my professional job I work with code that is private and copy righted by the company that's employing me and praying my salary, not to mention sometimes I edit files that contain sensitive or critical information like passwords and secret encryption/decryption keys.
Anything that sends all my code to the cloud is automatically disqualified.
EDIT: thanks for the downvote btw.
- GavinMcG 10y agoSo this product isn't for you. That's okay! It doesn't need to be for everyone.
- pikzen 10y agoThat is a valid concern, and anyone downvoting this is so far down the hype machine that there's no saving them anymore. Kite is a breach of privacy for 80% of professional software developers that work on a private codebase. You are sending your code directly to a third party, without even any ways for you to prevent that. At least asking on SO you can change your code so it isn't 100% obvious what you're doing. The fact that this remote upload is mentioned nowhere on the landing page and can only be inferred from the Kite Enterprise very short description is a bit worrying. However, starting a few Python projects myself soon, this looks like a great extension. I suppose the suggestion for VS Code has been made dozens of times already though.
