Fast is one thing, TSGO is fast enough I think, but my god does it suck up memory

They have made a fair bit of improvements, as performance was a big complaint. It's still not perfect, but VSCode also isn't nearly as powerful in my experience and needs a million plugins to match basic features.

Wow, this really sucks. With all the money flocking to companies that trained LLMs on stolen data, we may lose the only set of IDEs that offer high quality professional development tools

Their entire business model is targeted ads and selling overpriced linkedin premium to thought-leader wannabes. If they lose the ads surface, they are dead in the water, so it makes sense to block headless experiences at all cost

How long will that last? It's evident that they are trying to squeeze the engineers to the max.

Are you doing less work now because of AI? Not sure about you, but I'm doing a lot more work. Not saying I like doing more, or how it's getting done, but nonetheless I don't feel like AI is doing what the CEOs of AI labs want to convince everyone of.

who's buying your coffee or bikes when the rest of people are broke? Neither of those is a survival necessity.

Unless you're a techno-billionaire, not sure why you'd hope for our society to collapse in this way.

This is awful news.

It may have been the normal before we had the technology to remove that need. Obviously it may be the normal for certain types of work still, but I don't see why it needs to be that way for office work. This ends up greatly affecting housing markets too and making life more expensive for everyone.

A big issue with non-remote is access to opportunities. A lot of organizations don't have offices everywhere, and I having to relocate every time there's a job change is absurd.

The party in the pocket of BigCorp, that party...?

Well they heavily limit free tier usage and for paid users they are charging a tiered pricing model that ramps up very aggressively. Github is a lot more generous in this sense and it has a lot more surface area in terms of the functionality it serves

Any engineered system where an individual can accidentally cause a 7 figure outage is poorly designed. And engineering leadership that decider to terminate an individual due to such failure (as long as there was no malicious actions) is completely clueless.

vercel just pumping out slop left and right...
