Exactly, a year or two ago I said that knowledge of obscure and obsolete languages won’t be as saleable a skill soon because of the ability to convert code automatically into a more widely used language, everyone laughed at me and said that will never happen - already some big companies have started doing it.

I was talking to a friend recently about AI coding and realised that beyond a certain point a huge portion of the industry will be made obsolete entirely and honestly it’s probably not very far away - pretty much all the coding either of us had worked on won’t be needed if you can simply ask your computer to do it without needing a special program.

I’ve created a lot of GUI tools for example and tools for configuration but being able to just talk to you computer would erase the need for almost all of them, and a lot of stuff you won’t even need to do in the first place - why would I install an app to monitor network connectivity and locate newly added devices when I can just say ‘computer, how’s the network been working today? Is my printer working?’ and it just tells you.

How we interact with computers has done nothing but change, I really think we’re going to see a real game change soon, like not a game changing move, literally switching from chess to buckaroo.
