Any chance you can tell me why my IP was shadowbanned? I don't think I've posted anything terribly objectionable here.
Probably because you created a ton of accounts. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:
Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

Understandable. I started cycling accounts because I am worried about stylometry, but maybe I got carried away. Apologies.
Cycling accounts is not an effective way to beat stylometry ...
It's the second half of the title that is problematic.
I use an AI code assistant for my own code, but would not do it professionally, without customer approval or corporate policy. I have mixed feelings about it, regardless. I think it might be slowing my learning a bit and I question how "Pythonic" the solutions provided are, but on the other hand, I'm learning Python, so ... I dunno.

I'm glad they're doing this. When they announced the decision to pursue an AI code assistant, all I could think was "wow so I can pay a similar amount of money that I would pay for GitHub copilot, but only be able to use it with jet brains products." What a baffling waste of dev time and resources.
The heavy handed way it was introduced was so poorly thought out.
Had they made the announcement and shown how it was better than GH Copilot, I'd have been curious to try it out. I want to use the most effective tool for the job. Instead I'm feeling pretty bitter and want their junk removed.

You know the current generation of AI is revolutionary when you have shove it down people’s throats to be able to pretend you’re an “AI company”.
Hopefully this will disable the horrible on device AI as well
I guess I don't really care one way or the other. Cool though.
The internet's reaction to this has been so silly.
Jetbrains has for a long time included a set of optional plugins that are disabled by default and make HTTP calls to Jetbrains servers:
- Spaces
- Code With Me
- Shared Indexes
- their plugin authoring plugin
- (probably more I'm forgetting)
Now they released plugin #5+, that is also disabled by default, and also requires you to take a series of several explicit steps before you can enable it and use it, but this time everyone loses their minds? I feel bad for the engineers there.
