I see you've got some great logic to check things, but every time I load the insights page I hit the "loading extensions." I think that's both confusing to a user and very much against our goal of abstracting away that these are powered by extensions (we want you to think of insights as a separate thing than extensions; we don't want you thinking insights is a subset feature of extensions, not the least because extensions may be available to all users on any plan and insights may not be someday).

I realize I'm just changing it to the message in the other condition. If you agree that it's confusing to show users this, perhaps we should collapse the conditions?

cc @AlicjaSuska @vovakulikov curious to know if you feel like it's good to show an "extensions" message on the insights page or if you're okay with this change? If there's a reason to have two separate error conditions I'm okay changing one of them slightly (we could make this one "loading code insights for this dashboard") just so we can tell them apart if a user reports them

@Joelkw I'm with you about this change. I added this thinking more about technical details rather than product aspects so I see you point and agree about stick with just loading code insights loading state.
