Doctors and developers I imagine will be the next to go after the bus and taxi drivers, each hospital will have just a few doctors overseeing machines and we will all program ourselves out of work building interpreters anybody can give voice commands to build custom software.

- dllthomas 10y ago> In a software controlled world I tend to believe the developers will go last won't they? A "software controlled world" seems to imply a constant need for development, but it will only need developers for as long as software can't do the necessary development itself. I can come up with reasons why this might be unlikely, but I don't see any of them following from whether the world is "software controlled".
- samsonradu 10y agoIsn't there a constant need for development after all? Look at how fast the world is changing throughout time, new features and requirements are needed. Software doing the all necessary development and also adjusting itself to keep up with time without human involvement implies an AI similar to the ones in Terminator 2 movie and the world didn't look very good there :)
- dllthomas 10y agoMy point was not that there is no reason to believe developers will continue to be necessary, just that they do not seem to flow from "a software controlled world." Regarding Terminator 2, I enjoyed the movie but be careful about treating fiction as evidence.
