English is a Terrible Programming Language

And other reasons AI won't displace programmers

It's not really that much worse than C++ when you think about it.

This is something I explained to a client of mine. I do see AI as part of the Future in software development, but it won't replace programming as it is just the most precise way to tell a computer how you want things to work.

I think / hope AI will help get rid of a lot of boilerplate code. Where you'll have AI driven programming languages that only require you to write business logic and define architectural requirements and AI can handle all the details of how it connects, where to fetch and send the data and to do it efficiently

The title led me to think this might be about how the english language is uniquely bad at programming language since its pretty imprecise. But it's more about how an ai language model, and ai in general, is poorly suited to dealing with and parsing business requirements from execs.

Which, fair enough I agree.
