I’ve been thinking about a fruitful way to frame the act of writing code in the age of Copilot/Codex, and I don’t think “autocomplete on steriods” is it. Prompt-driven programming with an LLM is better thought of as a compiler. Just like what we understand as a compiler today translates from a high-level programming language like C++ or Java to machine code (actually, assembly language), you could view an LLM as a compiler that translates from English to a high-level language.| vivekhaldar.com
I have a strong hunch that we are fast approaching the next revolution in programming languages.| Medium
