@kornel@mastodon.social I’m afraid predictability and idempotency will be things of the past if that ever happens. Switching from one language to another, back and forth for several times, is most likely going to act like a destructive Photoshop filter or image compression, losing more and more details in the process. How can we rely on that for critical business logic or sensitive output?

@iainvdw@mastodon.social Yeah, no idea. I guess the real source will move to a higher level, like a human-language requirements spec. I wouldn't be surprised if coding-oriented design specs were also auto-generated from even higher-level spec/prompt. What's striking to me is that GitHub stops making sense in such world. It'll be easier than ever to fork and modify projects and even merge different forks, but also futile to do it on a shared codebase. It's disposable single-use code.
