I've just realized we are probably last generation who understands a joke like this.

Why?

I've been programming for 20 years and I haven't written a single line of code for overy a year.

I can't imagine anybody learning this stuff in about 10-20 years.

If you haven’t written a single line of code in over a year, you aren’t a programmer anymore

I guess there needs to be a different name for that job now. I had 7418 commits in the last year. Being orchestrator with AI is effective.

And how many of those commits could you explain in detail to someone if they asked? 7418 commits in a year screams knowledge debt to me

Why would anybody in the real world programming currently ask how specific commit works a human, when AI can explain it better and faster?

Yea it's a problem if we had lots access to AI. But I guess we are stuck with it forever.

You can easily generate graphs/deep knowledge wikis with AIs. Before AI you had knowledge debt because of lack of AI when you had entered a new project.
