Writing computer code is helpful for people in many disciplines, but learning to program is hard. Large language models can help nonprogrammers skip the difficult details.

#AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot are changing how programming is taught, letting non-computer science students focus on big-picture concepts instead of getting stuck on syntax.

1. Is a result of a few things. One can best be summarised by just saying: “the kind of elder Millenial or Gen X man who idolises Jon Blow and John Carmack”. It’s also a result of a bias nonprogrammers have in thinking the barrier most pressingly stopping them is the main problem.

Tired of all of you nonprogrammers out there being "Why can't they just remove the incest?" as though it were as easy as just clicking the 'No Incest' button. You carelessly pull out the incest and then all of a sudden frame detection is off and the net code doesn't work

regexes are one of those things that really should be way easier to use cause so many nonprogrammers could get so much power out of them and are forced to do things manually cause they basically dont know regexes exist. maybe they should train an llm just for writing really good regexes

at the start of every project, i tell programmers: "if anything singificant happens at all in the game, make sure there's an easily approachable vfx slot for it so that nonprogrammers can add feedback if you're ill or something, it sounds like a pain, but it will save you 2000 individual requests"

But, really, LLMs feel like a huge step in that direction.
Were we ever serious about that being the goal?
Is the goal worth the cost in terms of boiling the planet?
I don't know either of those answers.
But if you wanted "writing programs for nonprogrammers" it's kind of already here.

It's legitimately cool that it can do that, but my takeaway from examples like this is "wow, this language/API is so abstract and simple that you can compress a pretty complex task into a few lines, that's impressive" but it feels like for nonprogrammers it's only ever "this AI is so smart"

claude code itself, yeah. you learn it instantly. but trying to teach nonprogrammers how to use it and im reminded how much i take for granted like "i know git" and "i know what grep is" and "i can read the code it outputs". not to mention knowing what i want, how to test, and software design
I do think that essentially every organization of any size is going to want to have some number of people who are comfortable building things with Claude Code or its heirs, whatever their job title.
but you can attain the level of mastery you need for that in like a week tops
