lewistaariq··on The End of Programming
In our shop, we are understanding that the art of "designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages" (Source: wikipedia) shifted to LLMs does not mean that programming has ended, but that expectations around what and how humans do programming has changed and will continue to change. We still need humans who understand how databases should work and should be designed/evolved because these humans are the consumers of the programs. The prompters (programmers) are the consumers. LLMs are not consumers. Without programmers, LLMs don't do any work.
