Yeah we forgot the goal of programming isn’t just to tell the computer what to do, it’s to program the programmer into thinking a deeper understanding of the problem.

  While I fully agree, this is hard to sell to the other side, be it management, or a customer.

  As a programmer, today I can confirm with no room for doubt that programming is dead (programming by humans to be precise, the act of typing code on a premise to present a solution to a problem)
  We may consider ourselves the last programmers before the AI era
