Programming will probably look entirely different from what it looks like now in two decades, but I doubt it will be entirely replaced as a profession in that time. If it has, the singularity will have been started and everything will be entirely different anyways.
- hammerandtongs 12y agoI think it's pretty foolish that most programmers assume they will always be "working above the api". http://rein.pk/replacing-middle-management-with-apis/ http://rein.pk/replacing-middle-management-with-apis/ edit: To clarify, I think AI is the wrong question it's a question of the layers of abstraction and where it puts you in the labor force. Who cares what inhuman force is telling you what to do or how fast to do it?
- ZeroFries 12y agoI assume there will be no clear definition of where the API begins and where it ends when this happens. The various systems which employ humans will probably be mixture of AI and humans working together through multiple interfaces.
