If you think about it, many forms of software do the same things: Store data in some kind of database, let certain people add to it, let others read the data and perhaps allow a different group to delete or update the data. Even with global remote availability, the cost of getting someone who understands software at its core (and can also communicate well with humans) is not likely to decrease. With a deep pool of generalized knowledge and decades of experience, programmers like me are expensive. The cost of “custom” software has fallen dramatically In the time since that class, many many layers have been added. I learned how at the low level computers spoke in binary, on top of that a layer of assembly code, above that, another layer that I could understand. She taught me how to manage the bits and the bytes. Maybe you won’t even have to know how to program.” At the time, the idea seemed like a far-off fantasy to me. It’s going to get much easier to build complex things. ![]() She taught me about the evolution of programming and how “One day, you’ll be able to program in very abstract ways. ![]() Twenty-five years ago I learned how to program in Mrs.
