And other reasons AI won't displace programmers

Very good article, I agree with most of the points.

I also like to think that AI will never replace programmers, because for that to happen, the customer would have to give complete, correct and full requirements and specifications in plain, simple English - we know that almost never happens. Instead, you have to force the requirements out of them with pliers!

That’s why I wish lojban would take off, although I know it never will.

summary of lojban I posted elsewhere:

I’m learning lojban with my girlfriend right now for many reasons, I think this language would be absolutely insanely wonderful for autistics, for a few reasons

  1. It’s syntactically unambiguous, this means every sentence only has one meaning
  2. Attitudinals, at the start of your sentence, you actually state the tone it is meant to be interpreted in (you can see how that could be massive for autistic people alone)
  3. Text has the exact same meaning as the spoken language: Y’know how in english, you have to write punctuation marks? in lojban, those are words, meaning when combined with attitudinals, the written language has feature parity with the spoken language.

.i xu .irci la’o zoi. #lojban:libera.chat .zoi.
