I never really thought about it. I guess some people just like having those features, but I find them annoying.

I use Neovim with 0 plugins (apart from themes). I code in Go, and frequently reference https://pkg.go.dev.

When I do need to code in VS Code (rarely), I find that the autocomplete just gets in the way of my though process. It's like having a train of though barreling along and then suddenly an elephant gets on.

Also, I didn't even know what an language server was until looking it up after reading this post.

About Copilot: I have many problems with AI. They guzzle electricity, tend to be run by corrupt corporations, and are filling the internet with BS.

If I need to look up the definition/implementation? `:vsplit` works fine. If it's on the internet? https://pkg.go.dev.

If you don't trust me, you can check my dotfiles: https://codeberg.org/Kaamkiya/dotfiles

I really liked your book and plan to use it when I need to teach people how to code, so thanks a ton.

Fixing Mechanical issues

I tried running `*.java` files without classes (so just `void main`) and I got this error:

```

Hello.java:1: error: class, interface, or enum expected

void main() {

```

Be a template

It's a great one.

Thank you!
