At some point soon, the whole idea of a “high-level programming language” will go the way of “Assembler”. You will talk to LLM in English, it will do the rest. One can call it “prompt hacking”, but it is really a new high-level language that is much more human-friendly.
A person who can debug a device driver or a distributed system is a person who can be trusted in a Hobbesian nightmare of breathtaking scope; a systems programmer has seen the terrors of the world and understood the intrinsic horror of existence.
