    I think computers can write programs in the future. And artificial intelligence will be better than a lot of programmers. we will say that "second industrial revolution". I am afraid that we will dismissed our jobs.

      On a brighter note, we'll probably all be a lot more mentally and physically fit :laugh:

          Second industrial revolution? More like another AI winter[^]. If you want something to reach industrial scale and wide public adoption in next 10 years, you must have prototype that demonstrates capabilities NOW. I'm not aware of any technology (hardware/software/algorithms) that even begins to challenge human intelligence right now. You could argue that Google car is one. That's up to a debate, well unless it's raining :) Current AI hype started a year ago by Elon Musk (and Stephen Hawking) and it will end in another AI winter. Some progress will come out of it probably, but still nothing compared to these pompous predictions. AI has been gradually improving over past decades and this hype will be just another step.

                            Most people I come across have difficulty: Knowing what they want. Knowing what they need. Being able to express what they want. Being able to express what they need. So I don't see developers being made redundant any time soon, or we may just become translators for other people's vague and confused requirements. Which is basically what I currently do...

                              That's not the near future. Let it happen, perhaps it will finally solve the problem that 99% of all software is utter crap.

                                We programed the machines to take away people's jobs, now the machines will program themselves and take away our jobs. When everything is automated, production of all the world's needs is as efficient as can be, then we can all live out lives of unfettered luxury, free from the daily toil of the working life. The planet and the machines will provide, all we need do is consume. Just need to get rid of 6 or 7 billion people first, but that's another story.

                                Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                                      I think this generation of developers will be fine, but in the future, only the strong will survive. Wage may even come down some as competition and demand drive the price at market. We're already seeing DBAs and System Administrators beginning to get pushed out, next maybe it will be web developers. There's been new technologies and mobile development for web developers, but nothing is any better than it was 8 years ago. Instead of writing JavaScript or using an UpdatePanel, we now have JavaScript libraries that pretty much do the same thing, but they are no better than there predecessor. This brings me to the conclusion that software will get better, similar to automobiles, and you'll need less people to build and maintain them, since their product cycle will be longer than in the past.

                                          Now I'm worried, I thought we'd all be okay! :laugh:

                                          How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
