I don't really want to defend Kite, but when it says "Kite achieves this by analyzing your code in the cloud" I would assume that my code is uploaded to the cloud.
- mrkrabo 9y agoIf you're going to upload potentially private code from your user's computer to your servers, you better warn him with big fat red letters before you upload a single byte.
- daxelrod 9y agoWhich code is "my code" here? My assumption from that dialog box would be that at most, the code I currently have open in my editor would be uploaded. Not all the source code on my computer.
- iainmerrick 9y agoHow can autocomplete work without looking at all the other code too? Edit to add: oh, wait, I misunderstood. It grabs all the code on your computer? That's crazy. I just meant it's not totally unreasonable to grab the whole git repo you're working in, say.

- sofaofthedamned 9y agoExactly. How do they know what is my code, or somebody elses? Dodgy.

- michaelmior 9y agoI'm not defending their actions. I'm just saying that I don't think they're as surprising as people make them out to be given the messaging in the product.
