Hmmm. My software compiles itself 'without human intervention' when I click the compile button (ignoring the thousands of hours of work I put into writing the code and the even larger amount of work that went into creating the compiler).
- frickinLasers 2y agoYes, I can see many similarities. - Your code specifies design constraints--you need it to do X and Y and Z. - The engine designers needed the engine to fit in X and operate at Y temperature and not blow up (Z). - The compiler takes your instructions and optimizes them for the processor instruction set. - This program optimizes the engine design for the physics instruction set. It seems like both represent huge productivity leaps from laboriously making things in the original low-level languages.

Computer: does literal rocket science Programmer: sure, but it’s still just running a computer program
