I’ve written a fictive scenario a while ago (December 2020), picturing what coding would look like in 100 years. I discuss a scenario where the developer would use AI, implants, voice commands, etc to build a tailored solution. I even used “prompt” to interact with the AI before I even knew openai existed.

Some extracts from my story:

…”As you’re going to scan the customer’s place — who remotely gave you temporary access to his main level from his office in Sydney so you can do your job — it’s best to put it down on a table in the centre of the area.”…

..”You take a look around at the nice livelink painting on the wall showing the scenery on your customer’s condo on Mars, crack your knuckles, and go at work…. You start interacting with your wearable: prompt activate “….

The scenario is getting more likely with each step and I now assume this will be reality way before the 2120’s.

IMO It really is a new and cool impulse to the tech world. I was getting tired of reading WebDAV libraries and framework features being the only news for a while.. AI has its risks but i like to say: where there is risk, there is oppertunity.
