I saw the title and thought, "Oh good, someone else who thinks like Dijkstra!" Oh well. :-)

I feel like the halting problem and Godel's theorem imply programmers will never be out of a job, and the best we can do is build out more and more solutions for specific use-cases, like Wordpress and Shopify. I don't think there will ever be a general-purpose AI that can write computer programs. At least not in my lifetime or my children's.

And btw, has anyone else felt that the Halting Problem and Godel's theorem are two sides of the same coin? Is there any formal connection between them? I feel like they are not "independent" (in the sense that Euclid's 5th postulate is independent).
