Additional Information
Thank you for such a great product. Would it be inappropriate to offer a feedback on stability?
For developers, as you know, our editor is our primary tool. Stability of the environment is paramount to the trust in the product. Please prioritize stability in AI features, and LLM integration, over a fast pace of feature deliveries. I know, market pressures and investors are hard to manage. But as professionals, we cannot have bad days because our main tool is behaving weirdly.
We are making a commitment to using AI to transform our way of working. Moving toward Concept Engineering and Clear Specifications instead of using AI just to improve our coding speed. But for this to happen, we need to trust that the investment in describing the WHAT and WHY, instead of the HOW, can reliably be executed on by our AI co-worker.
Take care and thank you again.
