The most powerful programming language of the future isn’t C++ or Python. It’s English. Jensen Huang: “Why program in Python? So weird.” You won’t write code anymore. You’ll describe what you want. If the result isn’t right, you won’t debug. You’ll just tell it to fix itself. The barrier to controlling computers is hitting zero. We’re shifting from syntax to intent. You don’t need to know how to write a script to modify a system. You need to know how to explain what should happen. Huang: “English is the best programming language of the future.” Prompt engineering is just clear communication with a new audience. How you talk to people and how you talk to machines is becoming the same competency. If you can articulate what you need clearly, you’re a developer. If you can refine through conversation, you can ship products. The coder is obsolete. The orchestrator is everything. The skill isn’t syntax anymore. It’s clarity. Knowing what to build, how to ask for it, and how to direct until it’s exactly right.

Jensen Huang: I want my engineers to stop coding.

There's also a trust overhang. Most people (devs) have tried chatgpt, hit a hallucination and mentally filed it away. Better models help, but what really makes a difference is agents that stop and ask instead of confidently plowing ahead with wrong assumptions.

Absolutely mind boggling to stop and realise: 1) I barely code anymore, just chat with an AI. 2) It’s not slop. I’m still engineering. I don’t feel threatened. Feels like pair programming. 3) I’m enjoying it more than coding by hand. Truly wild time to be living through.
