Things are changing so fast with these vscode forks I m barely able to keep up. Which one are you guys using currently? How does the autocomplete etc, compare between the two?

Neither? I'm surprised nobody has said it yet. I turned off AI autocomplete, and sometimes use the chat to debug or generate simple code but only when I prompt it to. Continuous autocomplete is just annoying and slows me down.

Cursor/Windsurf and similar IDEs and plugins are more than autocomplete on steroids.

Sure, you might not like it and think you as a human should write all code, but frequent experience in the industry in the past months is that productivity in the teams using tools like this has greatly increased.

It is not unreasonable to think that someone deciding not to use tools like this will not be competitive in the market in the near future.

Where are these amazing productivity increases?

Where is this 2x, 10x or even 1.5x increase in output? I don't see more products, more features, less bugs or anything related to that since this "AI revolution".

I keep seeing this being repeated ad nauseam without any real backing of hard evidence. It's all copium.

Surely if everyone is so much more productive, a single person startup is now equivalent to 1 + X right?

Please enlighten me as I'm very eager to see this impact in the real world.

There's a bottleneck from all the other roles. Project managers, designers, etc.

The impact in the real world isn't more product output, it's less developers needed for the same output.
