Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using VSCode but not wedded to it.
It also integrates with VSCode, so it looks like I can just register with AWS and replace copilot immediately. Still transmitting everything in the IDE to Amazon real time, but production systems are in EC2, so it feels slightly less intrusive than github.

At work we use AWS Codewhisperer: https://aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/
Thanks! Codewhisperer looks pretty good - especially the price - It looks similar to copilot functionally but it’s free for individual use.
for anyone interested, there’s a pretty decent demo here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxRhACSZsJU

Of course that does not fix the fact that the code is not transmitted and a company cannot look over your shoulder :p
