@shaggysurvives I was just talking about this. Used to go to work on 2 hours of sleep all the time when I worked for the railroad. Doing math or programming off a few hours is sleep is hell.
@cursor_ai@mntruell@sualehasif996@amanrsanger@ArVID220u The future won't be programming languages like TypeScript or Python.
It won't be chatbots either (too imprecise).
It'll be a new representation of software logic that looks more like English – a high-level pseudocode you can edit and control.
After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.
Here's my conversation with @ThePrimeagen, a programmer who has educated, entertained, and inspired millions of people to build software and have fun doing it.
It's here on X in full, and is up everywhere else too (see comment).
