My personal theory is that as the excitement for LLMs normalizes, we'll land on something evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Prompt programming will take over what used to be quick/amateur micro programs (this includes userspace "developers"). Skilled developers will operate on a spectrum: all manual code at one extreme, and at the other extreme, manually defining just the essential patterns that prompt programming can reasonably build upon.

I do not suspect that we will stay in an individualized programs Tower of Babel situation, if we ever enter it in the first place.

It's anyone's guess as to what we end up settling on, of course. This is just a guess of mine.
