No man, I'm with you. I remember when GitHub was a joy to use. Finding new niche tools and projects written by people who actually cared about their work. Needed some simple postgres backup script? Browser GitHub and plenty of people put time and effort in creating something that actually worked.
I was talking about the same thing just yesterday. GitHub with its friendly mascot is no longer. It's now just another SaaS platform that everyone including my non technical colleagues are using. Their push towards everything-AI is the exact opposite of what they stood for in the begining. A community of like minded people who wanted to build great tools and loved software. But yet no longer. GitHub now feels like a soulless SaaS that's trying to hook my onto an enterprise subscription and bring my whole team along so we can all do some agentic coding or whatever.
Thanks Andrej. I have a pretty good understanding of how LLMs work and how they are trained, but alot of my friends don't. These videos/talks give them 'some' idea.
Its not for a lack of trying. I spend a lot of time writing text that feel like I actually read the ad. I try to include details, show examples for the things I think are relevant and have others give their opinion on what I should improve or rephrase.
I don't see anything about source available, git repository links or opensource licensing. Why would I switch from a free and opensource IDE to a closed source IDE offering no benefits?

I cant wait to switch to something like Zed. VS Code can take up half of my memory and keeps crashing after updates. How much language support is there for Go?
We have switched to Rust about 4 years back for most of our robotics and embedded control systems. I has been a blessing to move away from C/C++ after 10 years. Sure Rust has its problems and issues, especially when it comes to async and concurrency. Yes it has a steep learning curve, yes the compiler gets in the way often but the number of _actual_ bugs (not design flaws) is probably less than 10 over 4 years. Every time I work on a C/C++ i'm painfully reminded how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot. I hope coreutils and Rust in the kernel will eventually become the default
