Visual Studio IntelliCode

Would be interesting to understand how this works? The paragraph supposedly explaining it, says it grabs code for some of the top GitHub projects to build a model of what good code practices are (I am assuming?). Feels like this sample is way too small to me? Any real life feedback from anyone using this?

I read that page, watched the vid, and really don't understand what the benefits of this are. Currently use ReSharper and it seems to do a pretty awesome job of predicting what I want.

Whoever is promoting this needs to give better examples...

Also wondering the same thing. What does this accomplishes over Resharper (for example) ?

I appreciate all attempts at improving this kind of auto suggesting but for me simple buffer based string completion is still vastly superior to anything VSCode offers out of the box (I work as a front end dev). Way too often VSCode suggets methods and snippets that are totally irrelevant while ignoring a string that's just a few lines await. So far no configuration settings helped with that. So bottom line vim's built-in buffer completion is more efficient at least for the work I do.

TabNine is actually the only thing that I could see myself switching to.

It's free, for one.

Other than that: this looks absolutely horrible. I don't want AI to make suggestions. I know which methods I want, and which names I want to give stuff.
