The thing is every time you load company proprietary code and/or sensitive data you better make sure you don’t hit the share button as well.
Not the end of the world but also something we didn’t have to think about until recently. That pushing a button (other than delete) could potentially get you fired.
This question of who gets to see your company data is I think a lot more thorny these days than ever before.
You're joking about email, but that's of course the reason why companies will pay a lot to host email on premise instead of relying on cheaper offsite solutions. I think Exchange Server is Microsoft's biggest foot in the door to access conpanies tbat otherwise wouldn't care much about the other Microsoft services.
Having a third party look at every email you're sending around is just a non starter for many businesses.
Getting the same setting in an editor where your code is shared with the editor company everytime you want to show it to a colleague is not trivial at all.
- Only if you explicitly consent we will store your code or parts of your code on our servers.
- Only if you explicitly consent we will read your code for improving our product.
- Otherwise your code will never be stored on our servers. Data may reside in memory during sessions, but will never be stored.
The issue is that you when using Zed you implicitly agree that they store and use your code the moment you use the flagship feature of the editor.
It's their product, they can do whatever they want. But this behavior is a big red flag for me.
