    Inline completions are genuinely useful, I’m mostly replacing them with local models though. They are slower but free as in beer (once you pay the hardware cost).

        I’m using vim with minuet-ai, and it plugs the AI suggestion into my completion module. I found the Copilot style virtual text interfaces all janky.

      I tried AI auto-complete for maybe 6 months. I found that mistakes and hard to find bugs increased, actually lowering my productivity. I find that actually just typing everything (well, with traditional LSP) gives me more time to think about my code, the architecture, etc while I’m typing, leading to better results. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”

      So, not free. Just capital expense instead of operational.

        Sure, but hopefully small code completion (2-4b range) models can run locally on a lot of things. They’re just less good.
