Intro
Tim Sweeney, the controversial founder and CEO of Epic Games, during a recent Q&A said:
Programming languages are the bottleneck for developing software.
Emad Mostaque, the controversial founder and CEO of Stability AI, commented on that, saying:
Won’t be needed in a few years which begs the question what is software.
What if they are right?
In multiple issues of Synthetic Work, I suggested that the future of application development is not a programming language, but a natural language. And this is one of the biggest ideas introduced by generative AI.
Are you leading a software company? If yes, are you thinking about this?
