Curious to try Kite, I started to integrate Kite plugin into PyCharm until I saw they keep our code in the cloud which enables Kite do what it does. I'm not sure how many of them would be ok with their code being stored in a private cloud!

#52Adam from Kite here. Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement around the launch today. We're excited to be opening up Kite for everyone to download today. When we launched Kite here on hackernews almost a year ago we were blown away by the enthusiasm for our smart copilot vision. Over 65,000 of you signed up for Kite in the first 72 hours, and over the past year we've been working with many of you to deliver tha…

Totally legit concern. when we started working on this we realized if we wanted to index tens of thousands of libraries, we wouldn't be able to ship the entire index along with the client. Hence the cloud-based architecture. We've thought a lot about privacy and written up our thoughts here: kite.com/security. The short answer is: we don't index anything on your computer that you don't explicitly ask us to, and our p…

So can I use this without an internet connection? The environments I work in are basically SCIFs. Think i'll stick with Jedi for now.

#56Doing software development is mostly reading code and documentation. Obviously one also writes code and for sure one can't memorize every function or package name, but searching for it isn't that much of a bottleneck? Some time ago I wrote Java using Eclipse (which had/has reasonable auto-complete), but when I switched to different languages, I also switched my IDE and mostly use plain text editors these days. There are auto-completion tools for text editors, but I just never invest the time to activate or configure them and AFAIK there aren't completion tools which work well across different languages.
Maybe I revisit them at some point, but at the moment I do not really miss auto-completion.

#60Anything that sends all my code to the cloud is automatically disqualified.
EDIT: thanks for the downvote btw.
