These companies flex so hard about how much of their code is written by AI. I cringe when a successful and smart dude like Jensen Huang says kids should not learn programming. I hope it is not just me, otherwise we’re pretty screwed. Kids, don’t listen to uncle Jens, he’s just had too much of that success-infused soda. I will tell you a little story instead.
Once upon a time there was a king who could not code. The king had to rely on his developers to write software to run the kingdom. Software developers were capricious, slow and always demanded a lot of gold and privileges for their service and the king did not like it. “If only I could create all this software without having to write code,” thought the king.
One day an entrepreneuress arrived at the castle. She got an audition with the king and she told him “Your highness I possess the power to create for you a magical artifact. You will be able to write your wish about a software system on a parchment, put it into the box, and the box will create the system without you having to write a single line of code. It is called the NO CODE BOX.”
“This is a magnificent idea,” said the king. But knowing how cunning people can be, he followed, “Before I fund your creation, I want you to demonstrate to me a sample of that power.”
