Bro, they collect basically every file you use the extension on. Doesn’t matter it’s anonymous they will have access to basically all your source code. Not to mention there’s almost no information about this company on their site. This is worse than paying 20$ a month.
Besides that, their privacy policy says "GDPR Complaint" and that they do collect data through the extension(s), however they have no company information listed (besides the company name, which is not enough to fully identify them) and no gdpr data removal email address listed. That is not at all gdpr complaint.
I'm definitely calling it - this particular sponsor is going to be exposed for selling user data and is going to be an incredibly scummy company generally
The website of that company is dangerously sparse in details about what kind of LLM they use, privacy policy or who even developers of that thing are. I would not let my code to sift through some random chinese server
What is the revenue model of this company? Their website seems to give no clue, beyond maybe that at some point they hope to offer an enterprise version or something. It also talks about "self host GPU-4 level model", by self do they mean Fitten? Seems pretty weird and almost implies it downloads the model. Obviously I could install it and try but there are some red flags.
@@daniilgavrilikhin34 at least the american one can be sued/fined in cases of misuse. Good luck doing that with a chinese company. Besides that with an american company, most likely your data is just gonna use for ads data, data from the chinese company is gonna end up on russian hacker forums as a dump by the creators themselves. Excuse me, that I trust a multinational corpo more (than can be held liable in courts all over the world) than a random chinese spyware
Interesting, but I don't trust the privacy and I would have to run their extension in a sandbox (for malware containment). It's sad that there are many tools that I reject, because I cannot feel secure with them. Fully open source would make it a little more palatable, but even open source has been known to have backdoors. Also watch out for tools that are secure now, but download a backdoor once the tool is popular. Nope.
Alex thanks for that ad for the company, i tried it. Yes i installed a dubious origin software, this project was not rocket science. However i deinstalled it as it made lots of false code, and could not correct it even if i pointed it to the precise problem. Over a working day it became slow and brought down the performance of my ide. I compared it to chatgpt, and yes it was faster (in the beginning) but adding my time to fix wrong responses, no match. I need to check if nothing of concern, back doors etc were introduced into the code base. Dont get me wrong, i like suggestions, probably next time less focus on sponsoring turnover and more on quality of the product.
Guy legit dragged a monitor and keyboard on to a Starbucks table. I've seen people use a laptop and two external screens but this is even more ridiculous
So for me, the only code assistant that would be worth it if it gives you actual code or even suggestions that are correct and usable. Ideally something I can run locally
If you don't often feel like a beginner, are you even learning? To grow your knowledge, you will need to be expanding your coverage of the world of information. The key is knowing what to keep'; when to drill down and turn curiosity into a structured learning process so you embed it into your long-term memory
@@0xh8h I won't be surprised if they do. If env var is your only concern, then you are safe as long as you don't use the same credentials for your prod environment. But I have trust issues when it comes to Chinese IT products
Code assistant is about quality, not about speed. Who will prioritize speed over quality? Unless it takes several seconds. Although even 5 seconds is acceptable if the quality is very good.

And you have to learn the bugs that exist in each version of the libraries you must work with on different projects for different customers. Then there are customers using versions so old that modern functions are not included and you have to use deprecated functions. And let's not forget the customers who have custom libraries because they are followers of the NIH religion.
I didn't like the Privacy Policy of this plugin. It gives the impression that they collect my code to improve the model. Not that my code is great, but there are free alternatives like codeium that don't do this (at least not explicitly).
Being able to teach these assistants something and upload pictures is great - but unfortunately here free is rather expensive or at least risky. As an extension, Fitten (a Chinese company) has access to all files in vscode. Including .env or similar. And that immediately raises the question: how do they earn their money? After all, the managers, developers and cleaning ladies also want to be paid. No - I'd rather pay and have my data not safe but much safer.
Why don't you try flutter, one code base to cover all desktop and mobile platforms including web. Only 1 framework to learn and profit forever, not have to learn a new shinny javascript framework every 2 weeks, don't need to deal with html and css. 😄
Good video and all but i think 300ms and 1000ms are not comparable for human eyes. No one can tell the difference unless they can't trick their brain into seeing 1000 frames per second. This AI SaaS thing is out of control now.
300 ms is about the average reaction time of a human being, so yes, you can certainly tell the difference between 300 and 1000 ms when you're concentrating.
Alex, i like you, but this video might expose coders to a major security risk, giving full dive access to an unknown Chinese group, other videos on TH-cam looks odd say the least.. be careful with that. And Alex l please, next time warn people at the beginning of the video
sponsored videos like this on this channel allow me to continue to make non-sponsored videos for a while. you should always take things with a grain of salt on youtube, whether they are sponsored or not, my channel included
@@AZisk yeah I get it, just in this instance where I'm paying and using copilot and jetbrains AI to help write my professional code I can't really use your video to ascertain whether the payment is worth it. Frankly, it's an advert. In any case, be well and appreciate the response 🙏
Not a big fan of coding assistants. I feel they take over the entire program architecture and mask your vision for the project. Fit for others but we developers should remain skillful and refer to AI tools just for syntax and bridging knowledge gaps.

Get your personal information taken and files all read and sent to CN server, for free!
Copilot does the same
I love Chinese people, they are intelligent and know how to use technology. I have no problem with them, just leave these prejudices aside.
@@jonnygudman1815 I love Chinese people too, my problem is not with that but with the data collection. Being free makes it even more suspicious.
Free is relative... just watch out whom your giving your data to, i just looked where this company comes from...

Copilot, Claude Dev,Supermaven,and now Fitten! So many AI coding assistants, so little time to try them all before the next one arrives!
@@ScottLahteine so many options, just like JavaScript frameworks. From JavaScript fatigue to AI assistant fatigue
ClaudeDEV has been my new favorite coding assistant. Can use any model or provider you have access to even local models.

There is no such thing as "free". Something to never forget.
So, I looked at this and there does not appear to be any stand-alone capability and no support for PHP... not for me.
amazing, thank you Alex for beautiful video😍
Well it supports dart, flutter too.

Claude dev will do all this for. Install the dependencies and everything. Use it with gemini experimental and it’s free
monitor and mechanical keyboard in Starbucks is wild
Do NOT use extensions like that that harvest all of your data. Either use a local LLM or do not use one at all.

I checked your gear page, but couldn't find the portable monitor you were using here. Would you mind sharing what it is? Thank you!
Oh, is that the monitor from your video a few days ago? (I just saw it)
yep that’s the one. thanks for the heads up, i need to update that gear page. here’s a link to the 15” version too: amzn.to/3zD1DhQ

Hi, thanks for your great vídeos, Between fitten AI and Codium AI, which do you think is better?
@@gig73 i had the same question;
RTFM AI.
Can u do a video on supermaven?
My favourite part of the assisstant is that it sounds like kitten.
The first 30 seconds are better than any AI assistant ad I've heard about until now :)
And that PC at Starbucks :)) c'mon :))))))))
This should be tested against supermaven which claimed the fastest with largest context
Since it's free, how do they finance themselves? How can they afford sponsoring your video?
People be like .... This monitor guy again ... 😂
It looks great but I'm not sure if it's safe. Has anyone checked what data goes to the servers?
you have to be comfortable with data leaving your machine, just like it does with copilot
You should compare this with codium
Nice timing, downloaded Vs code last week 😂😂

Coding assistants are not free, they cost you practice and persistent knowledge, I had to learn that the hard way.
