Yeah. Well. I don’t know how many programmers have worked for me. It’s well over a thousand, and probably much more. And there is and was a theme among the best, that ‘you run out of problems to solve and the job gets boring’. That’s because there are a limited number of design problems (solution sets). The poor quality of the browser hierarchy of software, and the inclusion of many new database types, and now the addition of neural networks helped alleviate the boredom. But really, almost all programming is more tedious than difficult. The difficult programming comes only in the extremes of performance, the driver, and the chip layers. Even then, it’s more of a math problem at times than a programming problem.
Now, when they show you that you can make an app in minutes, that’s misleading. My company’s software is over a million lines. We would have to train an AI to understand it. But then once that’s done, we don’t need many testers, or programmers, and generally it’s more like ‘designers’ or what we call ‘architects’ in software.
