Until the robots make the robots.
- angersock 15y agoYou ever tried to use cmake without it shitting the bed in some way? We're a ways off.
- a_a_r_o_n 15y agoWe're there now. How many people lay out CPU circuits at Intel any more? Computer (using a CPU) does that. How many people physically make chips at a foundry? "Robots" do that. There are a lot of tasks in designing and building computers that can only be done with computers these days. Sure, someone runs them, and someone does some significant level of design, but the final designs and products are no longer possible without the very products that those efforts produce. Lather, rinse, accelerate.
- angersock 15y agoI agree with both of your examples, but the post being responded to involved the replacement of programmers. Until we can come up with a conveniently numeric way of specifying, analyzing, and solving computational problems in the general case, I don't think I need to fear being replaced. Now, a lot of modern webdev, on the other hand... nextBigThing = WebBizFactory.createNewSite(ecommerceSingelton.getInstance().createNewMerchantAccount(), socialMediaFlywheel.getInstance().createSocialAdaptor(SocialAdapter.TWITTER), AWS.getInstance().getKVStoreFlavorOfWeek());
