 If everyone could program, would you feel less self-worth?
gdp: I would feel enormously pleased, because it would mean that we had finally lowered the barrier of entry for programming to a point where people with little or no specialist training could create useful programs that were largely correct and bug-free, presumably with a minimal commitment of time deemed reasonable by the average person.I think it would basically mean that we had "solved programming", which would be something of an achievement.As for me, there would still need to be people who figured out how to keep programming theory ahead of the current state-of-the-art in terms of practice, so I reckon I'd at least have a shot at still having a job.
