so software will get even worse because nobody understands anything about how computers work?
- missedthecue 1y agoYour average professional python programmer knows a lot less about how computers work than the assembly machine level programmers of yesteryear. Software today is both worse and better. Slack uses 2gb of RAM, but is there anyone who wants to go back? Things will probably continue in that general direction. And just like today, a small number of people who really know what they're doing keep everything humming so people can build on top of it. By importing 13 python libraries they don't completely understand, or having an AI build 75% of their CRUD app.
