On: Sublime text started adding a “.s” to new files

Is it actually making stuff up or is it falsely believing that some type conforms to a protocol it doesn't?

[jshier → 3836293648]

It fully makes things up, like nonexistent parameters to real functions. In the areas where it's accurate it's barely better than the existing autocomplete, though I have noticed it seems to deal a bit better with broken code (which also breaks Swift's compiler-based tooling). It can also generate larger things like type definitions a bit better, but Apple never really invested into autocomplete, so it's not really anything better than what other IDEs already had.

Oh yeah. For example:

I may have a method in my class:

    straightenCheese(byDegrees: CGFloat)

The "helpful" autofill might give me:

    straightenCheese(by: Double)

If I'm lucky, but it's more likely to give:

    strengthenCheese(by: Double)
