I have in front of me a system that uses electromagnetic signals to interface between my computer and my brain; part of it even works wirelessly - it's a high-tech system called "a screen and my eyes." In what way is your predicted "direct brain-machine interface" better than my actually-existing electromechanical brain-machine interface? : I can think code (both concepts and actual implementation) way faster than I can output it in any way. I doubt you can. You can have the psychological feeling of thinking you've developed the concepts much quicker, but in my experience it's only when I start doing the actual implementation that the full level of precision I need becomes clear, and its that level of precision that slows me down, not the need to physically press keys.

it's a high-tech system called "a screen and my eyes." I meant the interface the other way around. From your brain to the computer, without any mechanical inert pieces in between. As for the prediction part, note that it exists already in a very early stage and it's extremely likely to only grow. Can't find the exact artical atm, but it was used to move a mouse on screen by someone who couldn't move anything below their head anymore. I doubt you can Maybe not on all levels, 100% sure I can for some. Simple example: C++, I need a basic iteration over a sequence. I just think 'ok gimme a for_each on container Foo, calling function Bar'. No matter how advanced the intellisense or whatnot is, it will take me more time to properly type the needed line.
