Depending on the amount you read, you may think of some arm to hold the glass for you...
And maybe a 2 time magnification won't be enough... check it on a scanned page on your computer screen to see how much magnification you need...

I have one of these: desktop magnifying glass with light - Google Search[^]
The combination of my age, losing my right eye a couple of years ago, and fairly poor vision in the remaining left eye, means I have problems with close-up tasks. The desktop magnifiers are great because then you can use both hands to move whatever you're looking at around.

But the glass with still remain half-full or -empty.

In my case, it goes to all empty quite fast.
My glasses are made for European half liters. I have a taste for English beer(*), and some of it is sold in cans of "Imperial pint" size; 0.568 liters. So I really could use a glass magnifier, to fit an entire can into my glass. Until now, I haven't been able to find one that can do the job, so I probably have to buy new glasses.
(*) One Norwegian soccer player, Frank Strandli, spent a year as a professional in England. After returning home, he praised the quality of the English beer, "I think it was called 'pint'".

There are two schools of thought. Those with a background in business see developers as commodities and fully believe that programmers will program themselves out of a job field. The idea is that in some distant future, jobs like project manager, product manager, and marketing manager will still be critical but programmers themselves will be extinct as a result of the tools they created.
The other school of thought is hard to understand because the programmers are laughing so hard they can’t talk.

That makes me think of this old song (probably from before your time  ):
Quote: Girls are dancing all around them just for me
And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
I've made you hearts jump, I've caused a heat
I'm in demand I am the beat
Look - I am the beat 1981 - YouTube[^]

Never heard of them, don't know the song either.
All I can say is their logo reminds me of Star Wars

I'd forgotten about that track. Now I've got an earworm. It was released a couple of years after I left school.

Assuming that AI writes the code flawlessly, then the writers of the "unambiguous" specifications.
Writing those specs would still be similar to coding, but in a natural language. It might be more like functional programming in that the flow wouldn't have to be linear. Details could appear in different paragraphs, with the AI referring to them as required.
