Maybe it's just me, but the auto-complete is very distracting and something I avoid. Most of the time I'm fighting it, deleting or denying it's suggestions, and it throws me out of flow.
From what I've seen, most senior/staff-level engineers are working for big corps which have limited contracts with providers like Github Copilot, which until recently only gave access to autocomplete.
I prefer the web-based interface. It feels like my choice to reference a tool. It's easy to run multiple chats at once, running prompts against multiple models.
- _pdp_ 1y agoThat's very interesting. This is certainly what I was doing before Copilot. Now I let it autocomplete but only sometimes when it makes sense. I guess I am used to the keybinds so that I can undo if I don't like it. When I was reading your comment I thought that there is a space for an out-of-flow coding assistant, i.e. rather than deploy an entire IDE with extension, the assistant can be just a floating window (I guess chatgpt does that) and is able to dive in and out or just suggest as you type along.
