Maybe all this time we were just in a ZIRP bubble and the people who claimed to be "interested in programming" were just grifting to the top all along.

I've always been interested in "building". Programming was always just the means to do so.

I got into it at a very young age, but the syntax and the languages were just the means to an end of building and creating. I'm academically interested in algorithms and data structures and distributed systems architectures, but I have no desire to actually code those things by hand.

You're probably not hand-writing your software in assembler.

Next to nobody will be writing code in 2050. It was always just a stepping stone.

AI is not an abstraction and it cannot be the foundation for the next layer up, like assembly can. I think you are categorically wrong.

		Maybe there is no next layer. This is it, and it'll just be iterated on for decades.
