Inshellisense

I hate and love this name

How and when is Microsoft somehow turning this thing into another bait into some semi-proprietary thing they'll leverage to force people into their other things? https://ghuntley.com/fracture/

Pretty cool when I need autocompletion, but it really messes with my zsh config so I won't be using it all the time

We already had https://fig.io/ and while it isn't officially open source, their obfuscating efforts (at least on linux) are very pathetic to the point where they might have as well just put it up on github.

Oh and a huge negative is that they have been recently aquired by amazon. I don't know whether thats worse than microsoft.

Nushell support feature request

I’m trying to figure out how this gets monetized. It doesn’t look like it actually phones home. The only interesting dependency is Fig, which another commenter calls out. Since this basically just wraps Fig, I wonder if this is Microsoft’s first pass at getting into shells before they reimplement Fig themselves.

Note I didn’t look to see what kind of telemetry Fig collects. I skimmed the dep from this package but didn’t feel like chasing down the tree of Fig deps that get pulled into that one.
