Did you?

Spoiler: no he didn't.

But the article is interesting...

It really highlights to me the pickle we are in with AI: because we are at a historical maximum already of "worse is better" with Javascript, and the last two decades have put out a LOT of javascript, AI will work best with....

Javascript.

Now MAYBE better AI models will be able to equivalently translate Javascript to "better" languages, and MAYBE AI coding will migrate "good" libraries in obscure languages to other "better" languages...

But I don't think so. It's going to be soooo much Javascript slop for the next ten years.

I HOPE that large language models, being language models, will figure out language translation/equivalency and enable porting and movement of good concepts between programming models... but that is clearly not what is being invested in.

What's being invested in is slop generation, because the prototype sells the product.
