Problem

Installed ollama locally with deepseek-coder:33b-instruct, gave it a test prompt create a dockerfile for fastapi.

Nothing happened.

I was about to reenter the prompt, then suddenly code started showing up in file.

Solution

An working indicator like a loading spinner or infinity progress bar would be a good idea to indicate, still waiting for response.

maybe this can be similar to the approach taken by gitlab. They show a gitlab logo with a spinner next to the line number

this can be very nice for tab autocomplete. showing the spinner next to the line number instead of the bar at the bottom of VSCode. This makes it way easier to see if the AI model is done with generating.
