    When they asked whether I use AI tools I chose yes, but the followup questions made it obvious they were talking about more specific query-based tools. So I went back and chose no instead.

    What I use is Visual Studio IntelliCode. Which is free and local-only, and offers single-line-completions from context. It also offers completing repeated edits in more places.

    It’s an AI tool too, but nothing like the query-based chat-/text-interface or more complex AI tools - especially in regards to the questions that followed, which did not apply at all.

      I use regex find and replace for rename/refactor edits across files. No AI necessary. But I’m also a Luddite using Textmate on an old Macbook.
