Whenever I think about the future of software-engineering, I'm reminded of the history of fourth-generation modeling programming languages, and their failure to gain much foothold in the industry outside of some small niches. We develop software using the current paradigm because we want to. It's what makes sense to software-engineers. As an industry, we've already been shown alternate, arguably superior ways of writing reliable software, and we rejected those in favour of largely the same paradigm we've had since the beginning. I know this point doesn't have anything to do with AI. It's just something to think about whenever people foretell massive paradigm shifts in the industry.
