Feels like we're heading towards a world where computer languages disappear, and we just use human language to tell machines what to do. Kinda like how typewriters got replaced by computers in the 80s. Back then, people spent so much time making sure there were no typos, they'd lose focus on the actual story they were trying to write.

Same thing's happening now with code. We waste so much time dealing with syntax, fixing bugs, naming variables, setting up configs, etc, and not enough time thinking about the real problem we're trying to solve.

From Assembly to English. What do you reckon?
