I was mildly interested in this, until i saw the "testimonials"

> If you're still using VS Code, you're falling behind.

Click through to their twitter bio

> CEO @HyperWriteAI, @OthersideAI - I make AIs do the impossible.

Okay, right. Sure. There's potential for interesting products in this space, but seeing all these blue check AI hype men do their 'thoughtleading' is an instant red flag for me. It's the exact same crypto bro bullshit all over again.

Appreciate the feedback! Can see how this can come across as hype-y.

We're a small team of all software engineers and I think we have a thing or two to learn about branding -- kinda just picked out some of our favorite tweets

For a moment I thought that what would come after that sentence would be "... Use Jetbrains IDEs instead"

    That's what I was thinking. Jetbrain's autocompleting

        widgets.foreach

    to

        for (const widget of widgets) {
    }

    Still remains a next level feature for me. No AI suggestions have been able to top that.
