The End Of Programming As We Know It

I am tiered of getting replaced by AI every single week.

"we might as well rewrite everything in rust" - famous last words

"O'Really" 💔 *Cries in irish*

You think you know what hell looks like? - Use A.I. to maintain legacy COBOL codebases and frameworks. - Continue doing so for ten years. - Imagine the tortured souls that eventually need to go and fix or modernize those systems.

51:30 “write it once and then write it again. The first time is to learn what the problem is, the second time is to actually solve the problem” Pretty much perfect advice imo

"The End Of Programming As We Know It" Again!

Many people thought that the wheel would end the need for programmers.

It's the third end of programming, and it's not even march. How many ends will we get in this year Guys?

35:55 While my first instinct is to agree with that idea, that taking 10 minutes to do a task that would have taken 6 hours is a net benefice, I see a very strong counter argument when it comes to research, or going through a document or an archive. There is a lot of compounding knowledge to be gained by researching, sifting through stuff, reading things that have almost nothing to do with what you're currently researching. But it's knowledge you accumulate, process and integrate into your thought process. Good carpenters knew how to build furniture. Great carpenters knew everything about wood and tools. Making research so efficient that you never come across anything you weren't actively looking for could have a subtle yet significant effect on overall knowledge and reasoning ability of people, simply due to lack of data to feed the algorithm that is the human brain.

If only there was some language I could learn to speak to my computer effectively.
