We, the people who used to write code, laboriously, by hand, using one's and zero's passed down to us, from Jacquard's loom, from before there was an Internet, do. A dying art, I suppose. Look at carpentry. The level of care put into the average kitchen cabinet evaporated when mass manufacturing means that Ikea can sell a set that is functional and looks just fine. Used to be, a carpenter painstakingly did it by hand, piece by piece in a woodshop. So too goes the way of coding, I suppose. Used to be every "if" "for" and "class" statement was typed out by a human, seen by human eyes. It seems that time must pass. |
