I find the more plugins I add to vscode to do all of the automation, keypresses become more and more sluggish. It seems like it wouldn’t be noticeable — we’re talking about milliseconds. But I find there to be a world of difference between every keypress being processed as I touch the key versus slightly after it. With enough experience on a given language you just of internalize a lot of the common linter rules. I use ctrl-space to activate autocomplete when I need it, but I find when it pops up automatically to be maddening. I’ve been using AI autocomplete more and more, though it’s a real mixed bag between seeming magical and guessing the completely wrong thing. |

The problem is VS Code then. Try IntelliJ, they spent ridiculous amounts of engineering to make typing as fast as Vim.

Me too, the first thing I do in my IDE is disable that. I love autocompletion, but I want it only when I need it. Now, that's completely different from just saying I don't need autocompletion at all.

Agree completely. Sometimes I am totally amazed at how it knew exactly what I wanted to write. But sometimes it misses the mark for sure. This tech is just going to get better though, so I like being able to use it while it improves and notice the difference with every new model.
