There are so many time-saving things that can be done with a little bit of scripting. It’s one reason why excel is so abused. Now that the bar to real scripting is dropping significantly, and we’ll see more and more people solving their own small problems rather than relying on others or suffering through repetitive work. Good stuff.
It doesn’t mean that they are ready to design, build and maintain reliable software or services…
We’ll see more APIs and libraries being used directly by end users, though.
AI agents are a counter-force to this, letting LLMs interact directly with APIs, meaning users don’t have to even touch code.
Yup! How many modern programmers actually know how to do assembly? Could actually program a complex program only in machine code
All of the tools and abstractions we build allow people to be productive at the cost of efficiency. The next generation of tooling will be no different

Fuck, I remember my assembly language class. I describe it less as “passing” the class and more as “surviving” the class.
