  20 years ago it was UML. Programmers were going to be replaced by generators that ingest UML specs and shit out Java code. 20 years before that it was CASE tools. Management has been searching for a way to eliminate us from the beginning. The "Software Crisis" of the 60s was simply the fact that programming was hard and businesses wanted software but didn't want to learn how to make it, or to depend on people who knew. This is why I'm distrustful of "imminent death of programming as a profession predicted",whether it be AI or low/no code tools, whatever. At the end of the day you have human desires that are not being met but could be fulfilled with some nonexistent software. To date only humans fully comprehend human desires, so it takes humans to bring that software into existence. If AI ever gets as good as us at coding, we need to give it personhood and full rights under the law. Either that, or scorch the sky.

    Maybe the AIs will be less greedy and short sighted than human management. Also, I never understood why scorching the sky seemed like a good idea. Surely the Matrix machines were more likely to survive in a world without sunlight than humans, given we need food to eat.

      Human executives at least have families and local societies they care about. AI management will be total paperclip maximizers.
