"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Can anyone recommend some IDEs that don't use AI, not owned by awful corporations, and preferably no online features at all? Of course I am aware of vim, neovim, etc. but ideally I'm looking for a gentler entry from other popular IDEs.

Perhaps the KDE one, KDevelop, or maybe Eclipse. In the terminal I'd recommend Helix. It's sort of like vim but with more intuitive controls (personal opinion, don't kill me), and the functionality is built in to the core program rather than relying on many plugins. You only have to add an LSP server for code completion/popover documentation, just like VSCode

Yes, Eclipse. 20-year-ago me would have a stroke saying that (due to it being pretty 'heavyweight' for the PCs back then) but it's got support for any language you can think of with plugins and an app store for everything. But, no AI crap unless you seek it out, I presume.

I remember running Eclipse with 1GB of RAM 😭
