It made sense when I named GitHub Copilot, since that product was a passive addition to your regular workflow.

The name was sticky enough that they've run with it, misunderstanding or ignoring that fundamental metaphor.

Orilly? We had no PM, EM, or designer: I played all those roles for 1.5 years.

I was one of the first to touch the OAI code model. Me and Albert developed the in-the-wild testing harness still in use today. We pulled all nighters to get GitHub approved for participation in the MSFT-OpenAI deal using those test results.

Existing Microsoft AI teams worked to halt our work, pushing their own small, worse models instead of OpenAI's.

I protoyped and lobbied for creation of the VScode extension. I invented and hacked the ghost text prototype into VScode, I invented the block based termination and implemented all the tree-sitter based logic needed to do it. Then I had to lobby up to Satya to get VScode to implement proper support in less than 6 months.

I named it Copilot.

I implemented GH auth, made the waitlist and onboarding. Helped design the e2e http/2 go server, after designing the fast.ly based precursor. Coordinated moving from OpenAI datacenter to Azure to improve Asia experience, and oversaw the cutover.

I was Chief Architect. It was my baby. Sad if this is how they are spinning the story internally at GitHub today.

I made GitHub Copilot. Now I'm making an AI assistant on the web. Today it can order pizza, answer questions about articles, toggle settings, fill out forms, buy plane tickets, etc.

I need someone who understands the web deeply to help on frontend and internal tooling.

Glad you enjoyed Tomboy and Hackpad! I worked on them many years apart and I am humbled that you've used them both. Thanks!

Something not mentioned but which is very important is the price anchoring that happens once you get a serious figure out of corpdev.

Future talks will be anchored on the initial figure regardless of your success in the meantime.
