In a way, it isn’t that surprising. Executives are constantly being sold the idea that "software is a solved problem." Even if they recognize that this is mostly marketing, it can still influence their internal expectations. They may start thinking, "Maybe AI has solved 30% of software development."
From there, the natural executive question becomes: "How do I make as much of my engineering organization as possible fit into that 30%?"

My guess is data collection. Maybe the data can be used to improve or train agents.

My preference is that it could use .ssh/config to explore the remote machine and then open/edit the file/dir.

A lot of the time you're not actually using what is passed to the function, but instead the name of the argument passed to the function (f(x), instead of f('x')). Which, helps the user with their query (dplyr) or configuration (ggplot2).

I'm curious, does anyone here have an understanding the kind of information gathering you can do from a balloon that you can't with a satellite? Is it a cost issue? A don't know how do it in a satellite issue? or maybe a tech/physics issue?

It's so buzz word heavy. I had a manager that wanted me to solve a problem using the monte-carlo method when it fact the problem had a closed form solution...
