I see the comic only has so many panels, but you skipped "Fourth Generation Languages", which came out as I finished my CompSci degree in 1985 and we were told it would mean no more programming in a class.
And the years when all programming would go to India, the way all manufacture had gone to China.
Maybe a longer comic.
Somebody with talent or AI access needs to do one of those graveyards where they all have tombstones.
Only COBOL pre-dates me and I have your memory's back on the rest.
The NeXT demo was particularly impressive!
...but Visual Basic and VBA, where you had the code-obsoleting power of the spreadsheet, connected to VB for zero UI coding...well it had a big impact on my productivity.
But only mine. Nobody else programmed, not even if 95% was pre-done.
