Not only this. I'm also shuddering at the thought of how much more noise this adds which can only be filtered through LLMs.
replyDon’t worry, Zed (or another company in their VC backers’ portfolios) will helpfully sell you inference to filter through that noise!
replyI guess this data is not intended to be used all the time. But occasionally you may find it useful in blame or bisect or similar things.
replyThe sort of company that would do those things is going to be mandating you to use their enterprise AI plan anyway, which already lets them read all your conversations if they want to.
replyLetting them read my conversations is okay. Systematically reconstructing a timeline of every keystroke that went into a project, then immortalizing this timeline into a VCS, that’s the creepy part.
replyI suppose companies could do this anyway just by installing spyware in your work computer, but I would very much prefer if that spyware was not my editor of choice.
Indeed, I want the information between commits for myself, so I see the utility. But I don't want people observing every keystroke.
replyIt's also delusional to think you can find that one edit that was really useful but you forgot to commit but then deleted in another giant commit.
replyAs anyone who's ever tried to split a days worth of work apart with `git add -p` is well aware.
It may be feasible with a million agents, but they could remember what they typed three hours ago anyhow.
The way I’m seeing AI used by organizations is to produce process slop: tickets, summaries, docs, etc. rather than drive process change and optimization, or enable individuals to be more effective within the organization.
replyI don't know. I've been giving Zed a chance for almost half a year now and it just doesn't seem to be going the way I would want an editor to go.
