Real-World Code Examples at Your Fingertips via AI Suggestion in VS Code
- mikece 4y agoThis looks like a very cool feature that opens a massive can of worms when it comes to liability. I cannot imagine senior management, much less corporate counsel, being okay with an IDE offering a prompt to go see (and copy) code from somewhere on the internet. I know... that's what we do anyway but having it active in the development environment suggests intentionality which can be cross-referenced with subpoenaed AI code search records to make the very plausible case that "Entity A" stole my code and is using it in their line of business application. I'll probably use it for side projects and hobby programs but never for my day job.
- louiskw 4y agoThis is almost identical to a VS Code extension we released two years ago (no longer supported) https://www.producthunt.com/products/bloop-2#bloop-3 https://www.producthunt.com/products/bloop-2#bloop-3 On the one hand I'm 100% for IDEs evolving and becoming more useful out of the box. On the other hand, I think Microsoft's repeated cloning of popular projects that manifest themselves as IDE extensions has discouraged founders from building on top of VS Code.
