Seems a little naive. I don't think our OSs, device drivers, X engines for X in [webbrowser, GUI, 3d engine, etc] will be just... done by front enders... Chick

Chicken and egg: will "real coders" will make the last tool and die out to be replaced by front enders forever more? Who will maintain the tools and make them better.
This is silly
Better tools don't replace coders with front enders, they simply allow a greater percent of the general population in the form of front enders to participate at all in creation.
(also: comparing some excel plugin allowing python to the matrix brain downloader seems.... unjustified)
- etanol 14y agoAmen.
- nvarsj 14y agoI have experienced the joy of front end development and seen the damage it causes. Massive duplication, ripe with bugs, stuff gets thrown away constantly and reinvented a week later, no ability for reuse. It's a great way to throw away money. "A little naive" is an understatement.
- einhverfr 14y agoBut don't you get it? Eventually we will have operating systems which write themselves and self-hosted front-end code generators!
- angersock 14y agoIt's a great goal to hope for one day, nonetheless. :(
- sharingancoder 14y agoTrue. Coding and coders are ever-lasting.
