A loom that learned to weave itself.
With sudo access? Can you suggest some? I did tons of research and rarely found anything less than $70/month.
I’ve been looking for a place to host web apps in whatever language (Rust, Nim, or whatever) and framework I want, where I can use my own domains and multiple apps, and have sudo access. And I don’t want to pay $70/month for it. I gave up on that hunt (it might have been unrealistic), although I’ll be researching some of the alternatives offered in these comments.
A VPS is also very expensive though. And shared hosting usually only allows HTML and PHP. So what’s the affordable alternative?
I don’t think anybody ever believed any of those things.
Well that means it’s up to us to make it recognize non-DRY code and teach it to refactor while remaining coherent forever and ever, or else we’ll have to parachute into lands of alien code and try to figure out something nobody wrote and nobody understands.
Wow that’s a huge pay bump lol. Maybe I should also start studying those business needs more.
Yes your message is clear.
To answer your original question, I have no idea what it will look like when software writes and reviews itself. It seems obvious that human understanding of a code base will quickly disappear if this is the process, and at a certain point it will go beyond the capacity of human refactoring.
My first thought is that a code base will eventually become incoherent and irredeemably buggy. But somebody (probably not an AI, at first) will teach ChatGPT to refactor coherently.
But the concept of coherence here becomes a major philosophical problem, and it’s very difficult to imagine how to make it practical in the long run.
I think for now the practical necessity is to put extra emphasis on human peer review and refactoring. I personally haven’t used AI to write code yet.
My dark side would love to see some greedy corporations wrecking their codebase by over-relying on AI to replace their coders. And debugging becomes a nightmare because nobody wrote it and they have to spend more time bug-fixing than they would have spent writing it in the first place.
Edit: missing word
How do we currently incentivize developers to keep it DRY? Code review still exists.
If you use AI to generate code, that should always be the first draft. You still have to edit it to make sure it’s good.
You’ll teach yourself basic programming in waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than 10 years, obviously.
You’ll teach yourself to be a much better programmer in 10 years.

The curse of surgery!
If the surgeries were so good then why is she dead?
Maybe that’s what they want you to think.
Maybe the instruments don’t want us to see those stars.
You’re calling Star Wars and Harry Potter the “new thing”?
The pre-HP and pre-SW Lego Castle and Space sets had more pieces and better designs. They were superior and more dynamic sets.
