The thing is that it's pointless.
The hardest thing about coding isn't writing the code -- that only requires learning (or looking up) syntax.
The hard part is the logic. Taking away the code doesn't take that away, so unless all programs in the future are going to be single-operation, logic-not-required affairs, you're still going to need developers.
And most of those developers will spend as much time working on the code as using this "plug-in" cazzabubbolo.

Exactly. Even if natural language understanding was good enough to write the code given the spec, the problem would be making the spec complete and unambiguous. The whining would then be about how difficult it is to write a spec.

40-50 years ago, programmers were rejoicing: High level programming languages - great! We don't need to comment our code any more!
Today: Quanting computing - great! Now we can solve problems that are ambiguously specified!
|

|

Was quantum computing ever touted for ambiguous problems? Problems that take exponential time, sure. But wby not ambiguous problems?! There will be lots of results, and users can just pick the ones that they like! Perfect for economic forecasting.

On the contrary, no-code and low-code environments are becoming much bigger. I have to deal with a low-code environment because it was already in use when I got hired. And it is an enterprise app running the business. They are not pointless at all.

We'll still need developers to write the no-code software.

While speaking on a panel recently, Landing AI founder and Google Brain cofounder Andrew Ng described a moment when he read the OECD’s AI ethics principles to an engineer, and the engineer told him the words give no instruction on how he should change how he does his job. When you need ethics done right, call Microsoft
and I just rebuilt that sarcasm meter...

Oh, that's classic!
Look, Mr. Ng, you don't need a story for developers; what you need is a bullet point list!
I'll start you off:
DO NOT:
• Murder people with:
• Guns
• Knives
• Garottes
• Sticks
• Those cool Batman/ninja star things
• Spoons
• Coffee mugs
• Atlases
• Hairpieces
• Anything else
OK, you can carry on from there.

In previous versions, SDKs and runtimes were left on upgrade in case those versions were targeted or pinned with global.json. We realized this was not ideal and might have left many unused .NET Core SDKs and runtimes installed on your machine. System.GC.Collect()
Or should I have just stuck with .NETcore.Dispose()?

Nasty nasty Core... you have to tidy up the mess before papa comes.

Well, certainly anything that's posted on here because its from news sources that (1) are limited by both the writers' and the audience's understanding of the scientific theories or observations discussed and (2) favor more sensational topics regardless of what the wider astronomical community thinks of them.

AIRI, it was formally proposed as the Eternal Inflation theory, in the early 1980s, but I'm pretty sure that there was a lot of Sci-Fi that talked of it before that.
But they're plagiarists, for sure. It looks like another case of "great scientists" trying to get famous by parroting the theories of earlier scientists.
