Resolves 2028-02-01, based on my vibes from the coding I've done in the last month-ish. Resolves YES if any copilot exists that "feels like pairing" and costs under $50 for me to try for an hour.
Things that would make a copilot seem more "pair"-y to me:
- voice I/O rather than text 
- asking intelligent clarifying questions 
- pointing out potential mistakes I've made, or better ways to organize the code 
- displaying some knowledge of the broad invariants of the system not obvious from local code analysis 
Things that seem like "smart autocomplete":
- its main contribution being suggestions for what to type next 
- being able to extrapolate long function bodies by gluing together code that already exists scattered around the code base 
- being able to do clever type-system constraint-solving to figure stuff out
