Is this being used internally at Google? What's the "dog-fooding" situation and is it leading to productivity enhancements?

#992I'm enjoying the concept. Tight browser integration/control. Controlling agents by commenting on Artifacts (Task List, Implementation Plan).
But the user experience for basic things has just been difficult. Unresponsive Agent Manager window. Agents hitting file permission errors because I don't have a proper "workspace". Agents getting blocked waiting for me to confirm a command line's "y/n".

#993I gave it a fair shot. It is a vs code fork. There were some UI glitches. Some usability was better. Cursor has some real annoying usability issues - like their previous/next code change never going away and no way to disable it. Design of this one looks more polished and less muddy. I was working on a project and just continued with it. It was easy because they import setting from cursor. Feels like the browser wars…
Pretty much all this. Remarkably, the website has a "Pricing" page with... no pricing information whatsoever.
Re: Google Antigravity
#994Still hopeful but the biggest issue for a python user: Pylance If you manage to even get the Pylance extension to show up (I had to change the "marketplace" settings) it will say: > This extension is not compatible with Antigravity What the heck am I supposed to do with the Jedi fall back? Legitimate question: Can Jedi even highlight unused imports? Can it import symbols not found? If Pylance doesn't work, fork it. B…
Hey Karter did you find any solution to that? I'm facing the exact same problem... were you able to use Pylance or any other similar? Thanks

Pylance is MS-proprietary and so no one can use it (incl Cursor/Windsurf).
I think you can use BasedPyright? Not sure if other Pyright variant work (e.g., * for Cursor/Windsurf etc.) but this one works for me.

Yeah just kind of frustrating how the Python plugin (which has a dependency on Pylance) just fails to install Pylance in Antigravity. I even got some error messages related to it.
In windsurf installing the Python plugin it will install Windsurf Pyright: https://marketplace.windsurf.com/extension/Codeium/windsurfP...
It looks like that is a fork of basedpyright. I have just been using basedpyright now. Better than Jedi / Windsurf Pyright (at least in the import area which was frustrating me).
Idk what cursor does, my free credits ran out a while ago :P

> I don't know what IntelliJ is. It started as a modernized Eclipse competitor (the Java IDE) but they've built a bunch of other IDEs based on it. Idk if it still runs on Java or not, but it had potential last I used it about a decade ago. But running GUI apps on the JVM isn't the best for 1000 reasons, so I hope they've moved off it.
You don't actually use it but somehow you know that "running GUI apps on the JVM isn't the best for 1000 [unspecified] reasons". - This isn't a scientific approach.
You clearly don't know how Swing or Eclipse SWT works under the hood.
Java's big strength is that it's a memory safe, compiled, and sandboxed low level platform with over a quarter century of development behind it. But it historically hasn't handled computer graphics well and can feel very slow and bloated when something needs that - like a GUI. That weakness is probably a big reason why Microsoft rewrote Minecraft after they bought it.

When did you pay for it? There was a time when its limits were very generous. If you bought an annual plan at that time then you will continue with that until renewal. Or, alternatively, you’re using the Auto model which is still apparently unlimited. That’s going away. It’s very easy to run into limits if you choose more expensive models and aren’t grandfathered.
yep just investigated and seems I got in at a good time. i paid exactly on Jan 1st 2025. Yes, the auto model is good enough for me especially with well documented frameworks (rails, frontend madness). Thanks for the response, looks like i'm in for a reckoning come New year's day
And thats the AI business-model in a nutshell. Generate slop quickly that you cant understand, but works enough for you to get hope, works enough to make you forget about all your training as a dev, and profit$$ of your anxiety as it rises!
At no point in the future will these same companies offer the same rates for credits. WAtch your generated code turn into a walking, talking ad for the companies who pay for product placement.

Re: Google Antigravity
#1000heads up: it installs a persistent background process that silently squats on the default kafka client port (9092) at startup
there went 10 mins of debugging why kafka wouldn't start
there went 6 hours of debugging why my applications are getting out of memory errors when trying to connect to my inside-docker-running kafka. they were getting an actual answer from antigravity but because of the first 4 bytes of the message, the clients were thinking a huuuuge message is coming and tried to allocate byte array memory for that. such an unthoughtful decision to actually use one of the most common used ports for a developer when developing an actual IDE for DEVELOPERS.
