#12Having contributed to the Fig autocomplete specs, I find this sad. The Amazon product Fig was built into basically works as replacement, which is good. Still, the core value of this product are the open-source autocomplete specs: https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete. What's going to happen to that? It looks like they are still using it in the Amazon product. It should definitely be possible for an open-source re-implementation of the Fig UI to use those specs. There is a lot of knowledge encoded in there!

#16Read about codewisperer just now (linked from this article). Anyone know how it compares to the warp terminal’s AI features?

#17I am curious from someone who uses fig every day - what’s the rundown on its value?
Autocomplete for CLI apps, gui for directory changes, just quality of life things.
Hmm I'm curious. What does "gui" mean? It yanked you out of the command line in a browser or finder?
And was this autocomplete server based or happened locally and privately?

#18Natural language to command line is the kind of functionality people dream about but it seems incredibly dangerous. How can I trust it to do what I intend every time? ChatGPT certainly isn't good enough as I've learned trying to use it on files I thankfully had a backup of.

#20An interesting pivot but I guess helping devs sync on multiple computers was never going to be a big market.
True. There's https://chezmoi.io/ for this, but no commercial market for it.
