If software was so good at making software LLMs should just produce binaries and minified bundles.

But in our software we actually want language - high level expressive declarations and descriptions of process (which actually automate work).

Code is like a recipe that is also a poem.

If it wasn’t, we’d not invent higher level more dynamic languages over time. Expression is power.

You want the dual function so it’s both descriptive (documentation and digestible knowledge) and yet has productive power as an instrument.

Higher-ups can’t think of code like that - like writing. One reason I think corporations still need to evolve to become more technical and made up of more creative people.

Run it like an editor at the local paper.
