I quoted your comment in the original post if you're ok this, thanks for your comment

Models could be run offline and/or free, e.g. gpt4all, starhugger for emacs, huggingchat... Also, this is a fast-pace changing industry, we can only try and adapt using such tools at our disposal. You might use a tool or service that uses AI and don't even notice it.

Hahahah actually this in conjunction with Lex's talks/interviews is probably what got me thinking more about all this. Masterpiece anyway

Lol don't take me wrong, I'm still using Emacs alongside other editors. Case closed then.

I’ve done some small extension development for vscode and hated it

I respect your argument

Commercial arguments are a thing, but a bit reductive no?

I meant you're putting into practice a language/tech that has real and great demand than one that has little to none outside the specific domain of a text editor. Not that it automatically lands you money

Maybe they will pay a little fine---and you won't be getting the money either---while their profits skyrocket. It's always like this, so I don't even bother.

Why so? Do you work with lisp languages? I've been recently fiding learning [e]lisp a con since it's basically a domain specific language. Only Clojure has a bit of commercial opportunities, but even then it's better to learn JavaScript/TypeScript for its greater use cases. Also, if I wanted to play with functional programming I'd go Haskell, Lean, or even Shen.

I also think this is the way. Glad to know I am not alone. Thank you!

PS: I have a pretty nice and modularized GNU Emacs config, but it's to me just as Lex we are missing a ton by constraining only on GNU Emacs.

Guess I'll be using GNU Emacs, VSCode, Helix, Eclipse hsha

I'm actually sad since acnkowledging that as I invested too much in GNU Emacs

Is GNU Emacs still worth it? (lemmy.opensupply.space)

Seems like with all AI-enabling and just works out of the box experiences with VSCode and alike, makes GNU Emacs absolete. I'm aware of AI packages for GNU Emacs, but don't think is worth the investiement so much; I would mostly save it for org mode, TUI, and some other few packages. But for programming, it doesn't seem lile worth the investment, and use VSCode instead.


Certainly knowing things will always be valuable - but the effect of assistants and LLMs may be to change what it is valuable to know by devaluing a great heap of current generation’s programmers’s stock and trade.

As an addenda: by value in the above I mean “instrumental value” or more specifically, valuable to the rich who want to exploit the skills of others to become yet richer. There is always intrinsic value to knowing for the people who love to know.

Just do it like me and listen to nature sounds like gentle rain.

Not really... Many are just devs used to say Windows who happened to get to work in a linux environment.
