I’m a company of one, and I use it every day, multiple times a day as a coding assistant. I’m using the excellent Code Genie (sp?) plug-in to VSC which puts a chat window directly in VSC and does cool things like allow you to highlight blocks of code and ask contextual questions / refactors / bug checks, etc.
I would say my efficiency is up ~20% since starting to use it, and my Google searches & StackOverflow visits are probably down 80-90%. At least with respect to this corner of the internet, they are both in mortal danger.

- stuckkeys 3y agoJust curious how the data flow works. Are you sending information to both places, CGenie and OpenAI? Full disclosure, I have never used CGenie. I know you can turn off data collection at OpenAI, can you do the same with them?
- nlh 3y agoThe VSC extension is just a conduit to the OpenAI API. You use your own API key. I haven’t dug into the exact data flow, however, so I can’t speak to whether the extension is collecting any or what data itself.
- meghan_rain 3y agoLmao, OpenAI is the bigger threat here than some random dude who made an extension.

- nlh 3y agoHow long it takes me to build new features for my application, fix bugs, and in general get things done.
- ukuina 3y agoI believe this is the extension: https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode
- swah 3y agoWere you able to stop using Copilot with that extension? I'm waiting for Copilot X and my Copilot use is very minor..
