I find myself wondering if the future of programming looks more like editing than synthesis. This is not a bad thing if it's the case; a lot of the job of a software engineer is in analysis of code that exists, but so much of the pedagogy is in synthesis-from-scratch in a world that is already full of billions of lines of code.

The leadership career track for programmers already closely resembles this process (providing natural language prompts for ICs and then reviewing/correcting the output), with AI just shortening the feedback loop. This has me wondering which software stacks will most readily lend themselves to AI-driven-development.
