The "programmer-brained" assumption is that I will be able to write any program and run it on my machine and that this ability isn't reserved for only me or some limited class of people and that I can share what I write with others. One big plus of the current stye of AI will be that "end users" will be able to write simple programs and will value this ability. Thus helping protect general purpose computing from this bit of evil for a while longer.

Exactly. I own a few dozen computers, if you count some low powered SBCs. But even those can run lightweight Linux.

That’s enough for me to distribute a few freedom devices to friends and neighbors, and still have extras to account for normal failures.

I also hoard source code, and will happily distribute that with the computers! Maybe that’s “programmer brained,” if so then fine by me!
