THE SELF-DRIVING IDE IS COMING

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A blog post that describes the difficulty in creating IDE plugins and how Sourcegraph aims to solve this by implementing plugins for its AI assistant, Cody. There are over a dozen popular IDEs that each utilize different APIs, leading to plugin developers needing to reimplement each feature for every IDE, an insurmountable barrier. Sourcegraph is attempting to solve this problem with Cody by utilizing a separate Cody binary to orchestrate interactions with each IDE's API instead of fully implementing each feature for each IDE.
