My thoughts on Coding is no longer the bottleneck as English is the new programming language: Coding is no longer the bottleneck as English is the new programming language

- Coding is no longer the bottleneck as English is the new programming language
- Hot take here. I thought he was going to agree to that, what a clickbait. Not saying it was bad, I loved that rage. I wanted it more. This is the awareness that we need to create.
- Subject matter expert is something that LLMs might struggle with and English is not a tool, its a medium to express it. If you cannot express the intent (which you won’t be, because you cannot understand everything and don’t have the experience of that thing) its not going to understand it. Simple right? If I say “bring me water” that’s vague right? Where to bring it, how to bring it, for what. The context is missing, the intent is not conveyed. Just like that, you cannot express in english for what you cannot understand.
- English might be a good abstraction, LLMs have lowered the abstraction, but the problem remains to understand the problem. That is the last thing that will be replaced by LLM and I bet never will.
