maps with recent headlines about AI improving programmer productivity 20-30%.
which puts it in line with previous code-generation technologies i would imagine. I wonder which of these increased productivity the most?
- Assembly Language
- early Compilers
- databases
- graphics frameworks
- ui frameworks (windows)
- web apps
- code generators (rails scaffolding)
- genAI
- akira2501 2y agoEarly Compilers. By a wide margin. They are the enabling factor for everything that comes below it. It's what allows you to share library interfaces and actually use them in a consistent manor and across multiple architectures. It entirely changed the shape of software development. The gap between "high level assembly" and "compiled language" is about as large as it gets.
