I’m sorry, I still don’t buy it.

Entry level programming concepts are now presented to kids in literal toys.

“Real” enterprise programming has a heavy bit of tooling available now that wasn’t there in ‘96 with testing frameworks of all sizes, intellisense style code completion tools...

I predict the next major functionality that will come is pre-trained machine learning that be dropped into code as simply as boolean statements are today.

Or wait that’s a dream that isn’t here yet so I should be cynical and lash out at my kids’ LEGO Boost set for its antiquated battery tech or something.
