Ya, cool name, but worse privacy than gorilla, more awkward than llm.sh and why would I ever get the Microsoft version of something I can get elsewhere without the worry that I'm about to be devoured by a corporate anglerfish.

Did you check the page? It's MIT-licensed and isn't about GPT or text generation. It's Intellisense, for the shell.

I wish they had written inShellisense in a more efficient programming language than TypeScript.

I recall disabling bash_completion.sh on my computer some time ago due to its negative impact on the startup speed of each iTerm2 session and the delay it introduced when using the key for autocompletion.

Before I disabled this feature, I consistently experienced delays of over 300ms between triggering autocomplete and receiving the actual results. I must admit that this was on an Intel Core i7, so I assume the performance is much better with newer processors. However, even after more than two years without bash_completion.sh, I have already committed many command line tool flags to memory so I would only consider using a tool written in a compiled programming language that can provide autocomplete in 100ms or less, potentially requiring the inclusion of hardcoded information in the binary.
