                    In honor of...

 

   With the coming of Nanorama I think it is fitting to look back at another Arduino project 14 in Open Arduino . Back then we had the opportunity to work with the MKR1010. It amazes me how far hardware has progressed. Unfortunately as often is the case, the software lags behind. The ideas are there, but realizing them is very difficult because not enough time and tools available to somehow automate the process. In my many years in this biz of software, I have head about how programmers will one day be replaced by machines. The actual truth is  reality has blurred vision. We can use robotics to do physical things. We can use AI/ML to help improve day o day functions like Alexa . But the task of programming still has not be eliminated.  So pleas comment on your ideas of automating the actual programming task.

Thanks!

Clem

    Software and programming has been increasingly automated ever since the days of hand assembly. How much do libraries automate the process? With configurable OCX's in VB you hardly had to write any code…

    Automation of the mundane/rote elements of software has been for a long time, as Doug references above. 4GLs have been around as long as I remember. I have access to an interesting book from 1959: Programming…

    Google has also automated big parts of the exercise. It replaced “develop a library” with “apt-get install library” or “pip get library” and copy/paste. I think Google is the biggest software reuse initiative…

    Wouldn't automation of the actual programming be a sign of the rise of genuine artificial intelligence? Short of programming being a direct translation of natural language instruction?

     

    Current artificial intelligence isn't much more than logic states, however you rarely hear about software or hardware being created with the ability to reprogramme itself.
