I was thinking that this week. We are quickly reaching a point where the quality of the code isn't as important as the test suite around it and reducing the number of tokens. High level languages are for humans to read/write, if most people aren't reading the code we should just skip this step.
It's an ugly future but it seems inevitable.
- pjmlp 11mo agoThis is a point I keep advocating, sure the tools aren't yet there, but it is foolish to assume we don't ever get there, generating 3GL source code is only a transition step. We already are having visual programming tools with AI agents, with various kinds of success, see iPaaS like Boomi, Workato and similar. Recently I have had the opportunity to be part of projects using such kind of tools. If there is any traditional coding it is a bunch of serverless endpoints exposed as MCP tools.
