It will probably be like coding in assembly after the advent of the compilers. There are some people who still code in assembly, but it's rare.

so software will get even worse because nobody understands anything about how computers work?

[missedthecue]

Your average professional python programmer knows a lot less about how computers work than the assembly machine level programmers of yesteryear. Software today is both worse and better. Slack uses 2gb of RAM, but is there anyone who wants to go back?

Things will probably continue in that general direction. And just like today, a small number of people who really know what they're doing keep everything humming so people can build on top of it. By importing 13 python libraries they don't completely understand, or having an AI build 75% of their CRUD app.

I think it's a problem in that each 1% of slop here and there massive compounds overall.

Me and my LLM buddy together understand exactly how computers work!

Wait until only LLMs know how to build compilers. That's going to be a riot ...
