A system of logical instructions that an automaton can carry out and which causes the automaton to perform some organized task is called a code.

Coding is the new literacy.

Coding will reach full autonomy, which I define as an extremely low rate of disengagement to human experts, in narrower domains first. Much like Waymo has crushed the robotaxi usecase, there’s similar alpha in the optimization of programming languages, frameworks and tasks

If they can train you to do it, then eventually they will train a computer to do it.

Coding is a superpower because you can speak the language of robots and command them to do whatever you like

Automation means not having to do anything twice.

Automation with the Internet means not having to do anything that anyone else has already done.

All that remains are creativity and judgement.

The robot army is already here - code lets you tell them what to do.

Thinking along these lines will help prepare us for the day when we—or more likely, our distant descendents—will develop the machinery and cleverness to begin to program [create] worlds ourselves...

Automatic design has the computer do too much and the human do too little, whereas automatic programming has the human do too much and the computer do too little. Both techniques are important, but are not representative for what we wish to mean by computer-aided design.

Narrative violation: AI coding will result in the most rigorously tested, type-checked, and provably correct code in the world.

First, the testing and verification feedback loop helps agents and prevents slop.

Second, tests have always been a chore, but who doesn't love a high test count and checkmarks? Agents are glad to write as many tests as we want.

you want to be in charge of your machines, you have to learn to write code.

The cost of code is coming down, so we will consume more of it.

The productivity of coders is going up, so they will become more valuable.

Coding now includes training and driving models.

Coding is to programming what typing is to writing, if you learn to program by learning to code, you essentially only know how to type
