When I was a little kid I asked my dad, an engineer, to teach me computer programming.
He refused saying that when I grew up programmers would be unnecessary because “anyone would be able to program”, essentially the interfaces would be so easy/advanced that there wouldn’t be a need for programmers.
As a kid I never really understood his point. When I finally understood, I dismissed it as extreme.
Now I’m realizing my dad was right. Not sure when it’s going to happen, but it feels that very soon.
