It's still not great at complexity. Though autocompletion does have some cool outputs.

Copilot knows what I want to console.log almost before I do. I like that aspect of it. It also gets it wrong sometimes, which is kind of dumb, especially when I just copied the variable name to my clipboard. It should know.

Of course. It doesn't handle complexity well. console.log inputs are usually not a cognitively complex object (especially if it reads current errors and variables)

Runtime complexity or complex as in difficult problems?

That's a feature, not a bug. Complexity is something to avoid.

Sometimes great products require bugs, I guess.

Being able to tackle complex tasks is still a real challenge for the current models and approaches and not all problems can be solved with elegant solutions.

unnecessary completely is something to avoid. Inherent complexity is something to embrace. We're trained to remove unnecessary complexity so much that sometimes we think we can remove all complexity. That's a fallacy. Sometimes, things are just complex.

How would you suggest writing something like.... say... Photoshop or Chrome, without introducing any complexity? How about an optimising compiler or better yet something behind the firewall like a medical imaging device or financial trading software?

Complexity is inherent in many problem spaces.

Most problems that software tries to solve are complex.
