I just want computer-assisted, approximate pattern recognition.
I would like to be able to say, show me in the text I've written what my tics are, what parts of this code I'm writing look similar to other code already written, where it looks like a common error, an old bug, like a frequently-used command I can alias, a habit I might want to break, a cliche to avoid.
I don't want the computer to create more almost-work repetitiion, I want it to help me see the work I've done clearly.
"look the computer can generate more code faster" the world absolutely does not need or want more code, nothing needs more code for the sake of code, we need utility, functionality and empathy, an encoded understanding of the problem being solved and the humans around it. Code is the price we pay for that encoded understanding. What you've created is an entropy spigot pointed at the proxy metric graph you’re stuck using because your management doesn't understand anything.
