I mostly try to program in “flight mode”, mentally if not always literally. I try to maintain a buffer of work that I can do for several hours without an Internet connection. I keep local copies of language and API references. I try to make a self-contained local environment for the module I’m working on. This mode of working isn’t really compatible with cloud-only tools like Copilot, of course. So far I haven’t seen enough of a reason to start changing my habits, but the day will probably come. I’m hopeful local models like Code Llama will catch up and let me keep my flight mode.
