software engineering

“I believe that there will be a higher level language for software that makes software Easier to build. You know, we've gone from assembly to, you know, C++ to JavaScript, now to these web frameworks. I think there's going to be something even higher level than…”

“That doesn't mean I think engineering as a profession goes away. I think they just, like, leverage these tools much better.”

“I don't think software engineering is going to disappear anytime soon.”

“I think there's a lot of Silicon Valley hyperbole around software engineering getting replaced very quickly. I'm less sure about that.”

“When a product or an idea has no legs and you're proving it out, you should actually have very few people working on, on an idea”

“I think this idea that software engineering, there's like a part of software engineering that AI is not going to touch because it's too hard, I think is, is just going to be wrong. I think every aspect is going to become 10 times more effective.”

“So I think you're going to have a spectrum of people, right? People that can operate purely on top of natural language, and they're building capabilities and technology and apps inside companies, but then people also that can go to the weeds, go down to the we…”

“At some point, telling your computer what to do is not going to take place with code. It is going to take place with you just expressing your intent.”

“By, I would say, like, 2015 or so, you know, writing with something is, like, you'd have to, like, fucking, like, download, like, fifty million packages, and, like, to run it, you gotta run some stupid dev server, and to, like, actually have anybody else use i…”

“And number two was the primary bottleneck for the past hundred years, almost. So like the rate limiter was how quickly can you write code? That is now super cheap. So that's sort of been compressed. And so the bottleneck now is like the two other ends, which i…”

“It used to be writing code. Now it's probably reviewing code. Pretty soon it will be deciding what is worth building and kind of editing kind of what could exist to what should exist.”

“You're not going to replace human with AI as much as you're going to build a new system for developing software and humans are going to build that new system alongside AI. And that new system is going to look very unfamiliar, and so it's not so much a one-to-o…”

“If you're studying software engineering, I think you're going to be entering a market that's very uncertain in four years time.”
