(Possible) AI Impacts on Development Practice

We can’t accurately predict AI’s impact but we can explore some possible disruption points.

Source Code:

Currently most software systems are developed using source code – a human readable, (hopefully) deterministic specification of system behavior. Development tools that allow end-user programming often bypass the need for source code by using record/playback and visual programming-style interaction modes. When behavior needs to be altered, a source code representation is useful. It aids syst...
