Kite is saying farewell

Way before Copilot was mainstream, Kite was there and it was really good! 🪁

Goodbye and thanks for the fish! I used Kite in early 2020 as a contender of Codota (now TabNine) but ultimately scrapped both of them as they weren’t quick and smart enough to actually help, and they consumed a lot of resources. But it’s a great idea, and I’m happy they did it, because Copilot expanded on the idea and succeeded where they didn’t. To your next challenges!

Greatest respect, a great business adventure story, even if it didn’t work out in the end.
