hot take: rather than AI, software development would be better served by just going into LTS maintenance mode. For each domain (web development, android, etc, css) pick a tool and everyone agrees that will be "the" tool for a decade or two.
this will reduce the amount of "possibilities" w.r.t. code by orders of magnitude and therefore make it easier to both read, write, and development tools to automate code.
of course this will necessarily reduce innovation, but at the expense of higher quality code, easier to maintain code and skills that are more transferrable.
- falcor84 5y agoA nice idea, but it's not a pareto equilibrium though; particularly not for developers.
- lakis 5y ago> everyone agrees that will be "the" tool for a decade or two Sorry, I found this so funny. Immediately before that, everybody agrees that we will develop in the one and only true language. All other languages will be banished ;-) ;-)
