Mostly agree, even without a database-centered worldview. Programming languages are languages to tell the computer what to do. In the beginning, people wrote in machine code. Then, high level languages like C and FORTRAN were invented. Since then we’ve been iterating on the high level language idea. These LLM based tools seem to be a more abstract way of telling the computer what to do. And they really might, if they work out, be a jump similar to the low/high level split. Maybe in the future we’ll talk about low-level, high-level, and natural programming languages. The only awkwardness will be saying “I have to drop down to a high level language to really understand what the computer is doing.” But anyway, there were programmers on either side of that first split (way more after), if there’s another one I suspect there will still be programmers after.
