I have core memories of hauling a 69lb 19" Sony Trinitron down a hill to my friends basement, circa 2003.
I remember part of the fun for us was getting all the PCs hooked up. It was so janky, but it was our janky and we loved it. Even file sharing felt fun.
Giving it access to JIRA doesn't make the code it produces more mergable, or reduce the cognitive load and technical debt a massive PR written by AI introduces into complex codebases.
The thing is, most programming is mundane. Rename files, move them, make sure imports are correct, make sure builds pass...AI can do all of these with very high accuracy (most of the time).
