If LLMs are ever perfect we'll be able to say things like "build me a Fusion 360 alternative written in Rust. Skip all of the collaboration stuff though, I just want to store files locally."
This seems unlikely to me. However, the disruption this would cause for developers would be very much secondary to the disruption it would cause for several multinational companies who produce software as their primary product.

I use the bridge from cline to copilot with gpt4o and lately gtp5 to do code conversions from objective c without arc to swift for iOS only and it’s been basically the cheapest way I could find to do it without doing it manually. Anything less than a prebuilt application for me has been a real job to get it stood up using only the LLM’s

The CoPilot plug-in for IntelliJ is not on par with other coding agents at the moment. The usability of the plug-in and integration of ide is a bit annoying to use for any length of time.

Does everyone already know just by seeing “copilot” which model is being used?
The author didn’t tell us, so if we don’t know the model, what is the use of the article? The model matters a lot.
