This is really cool. However, I doubt it can write more than very simple functions. That may be enough to be useful however. It would be nice if they created a demo page where we could try this out. This use case is a little different than the auto-complete one.

Amazing! So the developer's role will shift to: 1) writing good enough descriptions of the code to be generated by the AI model 2) fixing any little issues in the generated code

3) writing the in-house or market competitive service alternative ;)

Ok, we've changed to that from https://mybuild.microsoft.com/sessions/6c6ecd46-c39c-49d8-ba.... Thanks!

If anyone knows a way to link to the start of the demo at 28m30s, or thereabouts, we can modify it again. (Edit: maybe https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2018/video-tim... can be used to make that work?)

I tried signing in with my Microsoft account as well, nope, they want you to definitely go ahead and fill out a registration form for Build conference https://register.build.microsoft.com/ , not gonna happen. Hope they learn not to paywall conferences of this kind, their competition just puts it out on YouTube live.

We've since changed the URL from https://mybuild.microsoft.com/sessions/6c6ecd46-c39c-49d8-ba... to one that anyone can view.

Can this freaky A.I. also generate the corresponding unit tests?

Or, for TDD, generate the unit tests first based on the function name and description. Then, if the dev updates any of those tests, or adds more tests, use that information in auto generating the appropriate code.
