Exactly!
Figuring out Programming challenges isnt really ever part of the work I do. Which is mostly business process stuff.
Comprehending APIs is often a pain. A few times CoPilot has helped by auto-completing the incantation I needed when my brain wasnt working and I couldn't get an understanding from the docs.
So as you say, good autocomplete is all I really need.
That and decent documentation!
There is never a moment where I think I'll break my flow and have a chart conversation to write some code for me. Never.
One thing I did think would be useful: If AI could abstract my already written and duplicated code into testable and robust reusable Classes/Methods for me!
- mdp2021 3y ago> Comprehending APIs ... good autocomplete ... decent documentation The ability to ask questions about contents of the documentation as opposed to inefficient RTFM is one of the possibilities for which I recognize LLMs as potentially especially useful. (They should also be able to point to the source like actual "search" though.)
