Programming Has Been Dying Since 1954, AI Might Change It
Original: Programming Has Been Dying Since 1954. AI Might Finally Change It.
A new essay argues that programming as a hand-written craft has been in decline since the first high-level languages appeared in 1954, with each generation of tools abstracting code further away from the machine. It claims artificial intelligence may be the final step, letting people describe software in plain language instead of writing it. The piece is drawing attention among developers debating whether coding careers and skills are being fundamentally transformed by AI.
Why now: Ongoing debate about AI tools replacing or reshaping traditional software development work.
