The normalisation of surrendering all our code to remove AI cloud gods maybe? The other being a super responsive IDE now having major features have network requests delaying them, although HW requirements likely make that faster for most people.

That sounds a little too spooky for my taste, but you do you. What anything beyond that means, in effect, is that you (not necessarily you) want to chose my values for me (not necessarily me).

I don't see why I should care to have you do that.

Zed is trying to position itself as a next gen hackers editor. Text editing with lessons learned from the multitude of experiments in the space. A flagship feature that is online only and requires me to trust a third party is a deal breaker to many. For instance, my employer would not be pleased if I suddenly started sharing code with another.

Take the AI out of the conversation: if you told your employer you shared the codebase, that’s an insta-fire kind of move.

Yeah but so is I sent a message to s random person about our business vs I sent a message to one of our suppliers

Is Zed a supplier? Sounds like a random developer can sign up at will without any corporate NDAs or other established legal agreements. Will my employer hash out the NDAs for every developer tool that wants to incorporate cloud AI for the lulz?
