It doesn’t feel like news, yeah. I would emphasize, though, that getting clearly defined input _that remains stable_ is hard. Often something is discovered during implementation of a task that informs changes in other task definitions. A pa

Those long held assumptions were held by people who aren't professional programmers, right? Because, if you do what we do, it's obvious that language > math for most of this stuff. I'd go so far as to say that music > m

As software engineering gets automated the demand for it goes _up_ because the problem spaces that were previously uneconomic to tackle become economic. We're going to see a further proliferation of software, and that's going to r
