    I was in high school in 2007, and I pissed off most of my computer science class by saying that in 20 years, programming won’t be a job anymore, because our bosses will just be able to tell a computer what they want it to do with plain english language.

      You were ahead of me, I still thought it was far fetched until I played with chatGPT 3 at the end of 2020. NN were still mostly shit and training them was shit but the transformer was the big breakthrough. There was gold in them there hills and I knew it was only a matter of time until everyone and their grandma was in the gold rush.
