    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.

      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.

            "Imminent demise of the Internet predicted" - yet again. I've been working as a programmer and a software engineer for 35 years, and I've heard that "in the future, computers were going to take away our jobs" in every one of those years. I grant you that program generators ("wizards") can now write much of the boilerplate involved in writing a program, but they are still far from being able to write a program from start to finish. I personally suspect that programming is one of the harder tasks attempted by humans, and that computers will not be able to do it before they have passed the Turing test.

            If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                As AI is a replica of human intelligence problem solving (code writing) is done by search as with humans... So AI will need CP's QA to find all the answer - so we will have what to do even then...

                    remember the fire cell from die hard 4.0 Not the whole system is automated, at some point you need a human action to control the behavior of any application. So there will be something for programmer to have control of. Again, like in any cms now a days, we have admin panel where we feed our input to show how our website or program will look in the browser , same way we will have AI admin panel from where we need to tell the AI what i want to build my application. one can learn that thing and can secure a job. what if someone can break the logic of AI (ultimately it is a program written somewhere with some more real time decision power) like virus do now in our computer or AI become so smart that it do not obey his master like Hollywood movies, in this case you need some Root user to control this. become a master of this and you will have a job with lot of money. apart from that , there is a lot of time reaming for that thing to happen, as you can see now we have lot of open source and other cms which gives so many options to set up a website or application within few hours with well documentation but still common people/Non IT companies prefer to higher a professional person to do that job. So, don't worry enjoy your work :)

                            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.

                                          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.
