you, my friend, are taking the 21st century for granted. we already live in the future. When you grow up believing you will be driving flying cars and seeing robots help you around the house, how else are you supposed to feel? we have fly

This is precisely why use (and pay) a variety of providers for my services. No single point of failure AND I am directly a customer.

That doesn't have to be the case. Android is open. There's Plasma and Jolla, too. Maybe there needs to be a more curated App Store that carries only the best applications?

I wish people made more puny phones that work with my small hands. I'm really happy with iPhone SE, but I don't have high hopes that there will be a refresh.

Consider William Craig. The man is a Christian philosopher and I would say he is quite intelligent. That was easy, you answered your own question!

Okay, but who is your customer, the engineer or the layperson? At a certain point, our needs are going to pull in separate directions. Simple is good, but certain problems have a baseline of complexity that can't be eliminated. Who are

Yes, and? I we labeled things my way, I wouldn't have to look anything up at all.

Don't quote me out of context I definitely think people should be exposed to programming in school, but we study physics and chemistry there too and nobody expects everyone to be a physicist or chemical engineer. Specialization is a g

Not at all. Good tools are very important, and we shouldn't stop working to make them better. What I disagree with is the idea that good enough tools can replace engineers without them becoming General AIs. Until we get to that point,

If we can eliminate software engineering as a profession our work will be done. There will be nothing left for humans to do, because at that point we will have invented a General AI. Up until that point, software engineering will be a well
