I would be extremely surprised, and very sad if in 10 years computers still need programmers for 90% of what they need them for today.
Soon we will consider any programming just as arcane as machine code is today.
- vram22 9y agoNot likely, IMO. You may be believing too much that AI will take over everything.
- Grustaf 9y agoAt least I spend an inordinate amount of time making sure data is in sync between objects, databases, remote APIs etc, and doing similar things that feel ripe for automation. I think future developers will be focused on UI design and algorithms, and not have to worry too much about passing around data etc. Most of this doesn't even require AI, just like automatic reference counting doesn't.
- posterboy 9y agoMachine code is not arcane, it's right there in the ifs and + symbols of high level code.
- Grustaf 9y agoWhat percentage of decelopers today know anything about machine code? I would guess less than 5%, maybe 1%? My point is that programming is moving to higher levels all the time, most developers don't have to worry about pointers anymore for example. The change does proceed very slowly though, compared to the consumer side. I guess developers are very conservative and programming as a whole advances 'one funeral at a time'.
