Now that's impressive.

I'm sure ChatGPT can't do that right now.

I'm having to give daily "find the mouse pointer on the monitor" sessions or he starts getting pushy with the keyboard until he's satisfied.
Yes, I'm thinking of making a cat app.

We used to have a cat that brought home Koi - all dead.
We never found out who owned the pond she was fishing in, but we think she emptied it ...

Is this expression "I got Herself" any English/Welsh thing. Just curious. Has Douglas Adams sound to it.

"Herself" is OG's nickname for his wife in this forum.
Replace it with "Mary" (not her real name, but it'll do for the purpose) and reparse the sentence.

Ah so. Understood. Thought as much. Interesting term. I did not want to offend. My "Herself" has been around 55 years.

That is a good start! I can't top it, but I work every day to make my Herself miserable and hope to be able to do it for many more years!

"Herself" or "Himself" used in this manner is originally Irish, referring to a person of some importance. Used in phrases like "It's Himself, himself!".

Thanx Dan, That is good information.
I took to be a respectful reference. I had read it used somewhere in the past. Just wasn't sure where.
for some strange reason Doug Adams came to mind.

Intellicode continues to impress.
I'm processing program arguments for a little tool I'm knocking up, and I get to this:
int incMajor = 0;
int incMinor = 1;
int incBuild = 0;
int incRevision = 0;
foreach(string arg in args)
{
if (arg.StartsWith("/a")) assemblyFile = arg.Substring(2);
if (arg.StartsWith("/mj")) incMajor =
And it autocompletes:
if (arg.StartsWith("/mj")) incMajor = Convert.ToInt32(arg.Substring(4));
Now, OK, that isn't the code I'd write but it's a damn good guess, and yes, it'd work for an argument of the form "/mj=1"
Somebody has worked hard on this!
[edit]
Oh man, it gets even better - it reads the Group names from a Regex and suggests them as variable names in my code for a Match ... :MouthHangingOpen:

Just wait till Microsoft integrates ChatGPT into the Intellicode and other areas of VS.
|
|
|
|
|
It. Will. Be. Great.
Intellisense will pause your typing after each letter to ask chatGPT, "How's this loser doing? Should I replace what he's typing?" 
Meanwhile, you'll be screaming at Visual Studio, "Type what I'm typing, you freaking garbage heap!!" 
Oh, wait, that already happens. But, fear not, it'll be worse.

Didn't you claim that ChatGPT will eliminate jobs for developers?
So no need for Visual Studio at all regardless of its abilities.

Ah, so it's for the VB crowd. Still trying to get them to convert.

With the current Visual Studio, and ReSharper ...
There are moments of brilliant auto-completion alternating with bizzare insertions of sometime long utterly out-of-context keywords from namespaces my WinForm project doesn't reference.
hypothesis: this is worse in .NET 7/Core WinForm where they reference all kinds of things (like Visual Basic) and there's no option to remove references ... i can find.
... and, so it goes ...
* i consider it a replay of the "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" novel by Stevenson. If you like horror movies from the black-and-white time when actors, not cgi, had to make film work ... may i recommend the 1931 version with Fredric March, and the 1943 version with Spencer Tracy for which he won the Oscar. A cgi colorized version of the 1941 film has been done.

Don't get me started. Right now if I balance it out, I think I spend more time deleting stupid things the editor has inserted unnecessarily / completely misunderstanding my intent, than any time that might have been saved had I had to type it all in manually. Frustrating to an extreme.
Then after you've fought with the editor for a while and got things back under control and made all corrections, you scroll back to the top of the file and find out while it had been doing that, it inserted 4 using statements that are not necessary because it thought you were making references for things that exist elsewhere. Re-reading your quote, I'm guessing this exactly the sort of thing you meant...

Clearly the guys in Microsoft who create intellisense and those writing "Mirosoft learn"/Help/Tutorials are completely different teams. They send the stupid ones to write articles in "Mirosoft learn".
