Jason GormanIn the future, we won't need programmers, just people who can describe to a computer precisely what they want it to do.
piofthings@jasongorman 24 years and counting 😇😇😇
@piofthings It's more like 65 years and counting. Folks said this about COBOL and FORTRAN 🙂

IT was more along the lines of "There aren't enough programmers to write all the software that needs to be written, so we need to make it so scientists (FORTRAN) and managers (COBOL) can write programs."
Also, there were dozens of machine languages back then and two languages that could run on all of them was a huge win.
@jasongorman @piofthings So now we have dozens of higher-level languages and only one has any hope of becoming universal - Python.
