(Comments on @stephen_wolfram w/ @lexfridman) Interview)

Listening to Wolfram and though not hearing anything terribly new, his description of the future of programming, and the disintermediation of the code itself from the human, by the use of ordinary language as the means of coding – and more interesting that previous attempts at drag and drop coding – it was the first time, I felt I could envision the next fifteen years of the software industry and the chaos that will result. This change and the opportunity is much bigger than desktops, client server, and the browser, and on the scale of the internet. (Though failures will be legion and companies will die like flies as they did in 2001 and consolidation will happen rapidly.)

And frankly it’s so obvious how to make a lot of money by the money-printing job of ‘plumbing’ generational replacement of many overlapping technologies cheaply – totally bypassing what I’d assumed was the next generation of code designed as I have my products: Oversing and Runcible.

That said I”ve promised myself I won’t split my workload again, and will finish the history, philosophy, science, and law volumes and at least work on religion for a few years.

So despite wanting to bark loudly and chase another technology truck, I think I’ve already got my work cut out for me for now. 😉

Note:
GENERAL RULE: The grammar of programming is much simpler than the grammar of ordinary language because of the limited referents and operations of the machine. But the grammar of programs is more complicated than the grammar of odinary narratives, because of superior working memory of the machine vs human working memory.
