Earlier quoted context omitted.

How's the compatibility with VSCode extensions?

100% compatibility

devcontainers extension was a year out of date up until the last month or something? sorry, this is from memory, but definitely not 100% compatibility.

Avoid it! Perplexity rules prohibit commercial use, so it’s effectively a toy for hobby stuff like gardening and recipes. ChatGPT rules prohibit sharing the output with other AI, and they’re training on everything you pass in, so you’re literally paying to get brain raped, they hold all the cards, and that’s as dumb as it sounds. Anybody coding with OpenAI at this point ought to be publicly mocked for being a sheep.…

> ChatGPT rules prohibit sharing the output with other AI Who gives a fuck ? If openai followed the law chatgpt wouldn't exist

Admittedly, I’ve achieved so much with the assistance of extensions like Cline/Roo that I have a sort of youthful exuberance that wants to proclaim that the barrier to entry to building applications with AI is falling. It’s not. These tools will literally waste your time and empty your wallet if you don’t have a solid approach — and that starts with knowing how to detect code and architecture smells at light speed. T…

Probably a good place to ask — any good AI tools to help review GitHub pull requests? Something better than copy/paste into a chat app

I’m part of the team at Kodus and it’s been 4 days since we open sourced Kody, our AI that helps with code reviews

Here’s the repo if you want to check it out https://github.com/kodustech/kodus-ai

Feedback is more than welcome

This.

Using LLM coding assistance makes you dumb. You lose the ability to think.
