I love how corpos can just change the rules at will.

Edit: New prices:

And if you look at the old pricing structure, some of the models are increasing by 27x

Inline completions are genuinely useful, I’m mostly replacing them with local models though. They are slower but free as in beer (once you pay the hardware cost).

    I tried AI auto-complete for maybe 6 months. I found that mistakes and hard to find bugs increased, actually lowering my productivity. I find that actually just typing everything (well, with traditional LSP) gives me more time to think about my code, the architecture, etc while I'm typing, leading to better results.
