And what to we call a language with sufficient expressiveness and precision able to construct executable artifacts?
We call it a “programming language”.
At best, AI will revolutionize software development on the same manner as did the invention of compilers. The entire history

which also spared these interesting responses:
- [WaybackSave/Archive] Adiva 🏳️⚧️ on X: “@Grady_Booch @jsngr Also: libraries/packages. It’s been ages since anybody has needed to write every single thing by themselves. Lots of software writing is already creating logic that connects more specialized code written by other people without having understand its internals fully.”
- [WaybackSave/Archive] Fast Magpie on X: “@Grady_Booch @jsngr This is the correct take. The number of software engineers required to produce software will decline. The breadth and depth of skill required of those engineers will likely increase. The overall demand for software will increase.”
The library problem is even bigger than the XKCD single dependency one, as there are so many of those fragile dependencies which I discussed in Every conversation about dependencies since 2020 uses the same XKCD 2347 based image, which is a problem on multiple levels. AI will introduce even more dependencies and likely many of them from unknown background causing huge copyright issues.
