> I mean a computer as a direct expansion of your cognitive ability has to be the end point in user interfaces, William Gibson hints at something similar to this in the graduate work of a character in the short story “Dogfight”[0] from the excellent collection “Burning Chrome”. I think before that, the act of programming will be supplemented by AI and will become more descriptive than procedural. I think about SQL, where you typically describe the shape of the data and relationships you want, rather than how to get it. The database then creates a query plan... effectively a “program”, compiles it, then executes it. I think programming will become more like that, on its way to what you describe. 0: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogfight_(short_story) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogfight_(short_story)
