..case in point, this AI epoch feels like the gargantuan shift I made from writing my code in line numbers via the command line, to getting my first IDE - it allowed me to write big, better, more complex software...

This is an awesome extension for SSM 21. Highly recommended it as it brings my app's .db3 data into the same management interface as my other API/Services DB's. Great stuff.

I usually end up with nothing in the text box, or just the few characters I was going to replace in the var name with just because VS re-selected the name after it found a predicted match.

I don't mind it using AI, just stop taking control of the input box.

It's now a race between me and AI to rename the variable as once it's found a prediction, it resets the focus on the input box, typically highlighting the whole word which means when I type what I want, it replaces everything despite putting my caret right where I want it to be.
