Just today I was tinkering with Continue.dev extension for VSCode. Locally running the models and not having sensitive proprietary source code sent over the wire to a 3rd party service was a big requirement for me to even consider bringing AI into my IDE.

This is where the grit in the gear works comes into play. Oops, filed out the wrong form? Oh no, I misspelled their name. Only Page 2 of 4?

Do your job, but just poorly enough to slow this shit down. Make fascism inefficient.
