Feel free to elaborate -- this is hacker news not script kiddie news. Excess cynicism aside, while I think there's always plenty to be critical of I think between Leslie Lamport, Excel, and Windows XP I'd say it's not all bad.

No, I don't want to cobble together an office suite, email server, user auth, identity management, file sharing, meeting scheduling, and messaging system from scratch and then train users how to use this Frankenstein system and also support it. Because you know vendors never blame each other.

I'm just describing what all programmers have done since the beginning of time
You don't see how you just shot yourself in the foot, do you? If nothing else the HN mantra is not "That's how we've always done it."
I'm not against the idea of ai coding tools on premise, but it did strike me as kind of funny to imagine someone using two such tools at the same time.
I'm more of a minimalist, and would generally prefer to have lean tools which get out of my way. The idea that every keystroke involves a back-and fourth with a server, and that my basic coding workflow would need an internet connection is not something which is super appealing to me personally.
I might be a super weird use case BUT believe it or not I use both Tabnine and Copilot and I kinda like the combo. Here's how it works: I use Copilot for its multi-line code generation. It's vastly superior. (Sorry Tabnine). Gotta give credit to Tabnine for kicking off this space -- they had a multi-year headstart on Copilot and it was pretty cool when it first launched, but it just doesn't come close to Copilot. Ope…
Call me old fashioned, but I use my brain for mutli-line code generation
For my curiosity, https://www.tabnine.com/code/java/classes/com.google.gson.Js... says it was taken from https://github.com/Vedenin/useful-java-links/tree/master/hel... which Tabnine annotates as "license: other" (it's actually CC-BY-SA-4.0 https://github.com/Vedenin/useful-java-links/blob/1f4278c9ad... >) but (a) does Tabnine not know about CC licenses? (b) how is the downstream user (i.e. the person accepting said…
There's a standard GitHub uses for license files (which must be at the root of the repo) which fills in the "license" field on the right column of the repo. If the standard isn't met then the link just says "View license". I imagine TabNine is pulling the license from the GitHub API. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-reposi... https://github.com/Vedenin/useful-java-links When master branch is rena…

The code-search application is completely distinct from the IDE-assistant application. They do not share any code, have completely different pipelines for training the backend and completely different datasets. The specific source you mentioned will not be part of the training dataset for Tabnine's IDE assistant. Hope this clarifies.
Ok, but how is anyone supposed to know that? There's no verbiage anywhere on those search screens saying that
I thought using the code search with its auto-complete widgets would be a "try it in the browser" version of the product, but what I'm hearing is no, it's just some separate toy trying to be beat Sourcegraph or something?
