That sounds awful

Similar to a product or engineering manager giving directions on a call from the golf course.

Golf course isn't bad; I witnessed a CEO join meetings from the subway and packed airport concourses lol

Early in my career I drew the short straw to fetch a C level exec who was running a critical incident from a strip club and too drunk to drive.

I had to pay the $90 three drink minimum to get in. Getting that reimbursed was fun.

But hey, look how productive they are with their time! :)

Funny enough, that sounds awful, too.

To be fair with the languages I use there are only a finite number of ways a particular line or even function can be implemented due to high level algebraic data structures and strict type checking. Business logic is encoded as data requirements, which is encoded into types, which is enforced by the type checker. Even a non-AI based system can technically be made to fill in the code, but AI system allows this to sort of be generalized across many languages that did not implement auto-complete.

I have been doing this with GitHub's copilot agent web interface on my phone; word-vomit voice prompt + instructions to always run the tests or take screenshots so I can evaluate the change works really well.

Was it the github issues copilot integration? I found that to be slow compared to natively running copilot in the IDE.
