@litchralee
Thank you!
i didn't expect serious answers here, but this was a nice read,

so the various jobs around computers were kind of obsoleted, but the job description just shifted and the title remained valid most of the times,

now i'm interested to see what we'll do 20 years from now rather than just being annoyed by the "don't learn ${X}, it's outdated" guys

@scrubbles
cool

but it's always been some company hyping their new product and suits frothing at the prospect of not having to pay me anymore

i half expected it, after all it's what's happening right now

What I'm doing now is for sure not what I was doing 10 years ago.

that's right, i guess some aspects of programming have really been made obsolete

Hi, this is a question that popped into my mind when i saw an article about some AWS engineer talking about ai assistants taking over the job of programmers, this reminded me that it's not the first time that something like this was said.

My software engineering teacher once told me that a few years ago people believed graphical tools like enterprise architect would make it so that a single engineer could just draw a pretty UML diagram and generate 90% of the project without touching any code,
And further back COBOL was supposed to replace programmers by letting accountants write their own programs.

Now i'm curious, were there many other technologies that were supposedly going to replace programmers that you remember?

i hope someone that's been around much more than me knows something more or has some funny stories to share

It's an online rpg with an open world
Still in pre-alpha , so much of the content isn't finished, but it's already visually stunning for a voxel game and the gameplay is already quite enjoyable
