I've been hearing this for about 25 years. Yet none of the software I actually use is developed that way.
- shawn-butler 6y agoYes, but now we have DeepLearning or something... I'm sure it will be different this time.
- m0zg 6y agoI make my living with it. It's pretty much the opposite of "code free", and its problem domain is entirely orthogonal to that of "traiditional" programming in that you can't do what deep learning systems do using the traditional means, at all. Try recognizing a hotdog reliably with just some for loops and if statements. Code-wise, frameworks themselves are millions of lines of code, and then there are tens of thousands of lines of your own, often extremely gnarly stuff on top of that. And I don't expect anything that can "write itself" in my, or my children's lifetime.
- PeterStuer 6y agoI think the poster you are replying forgot to add the '/s'
- m0zg 6y agoAdding /s is almost always pointless. People who understand sarcasm don't need it, and everyone else doesn't know what /s means.
