I have used Claude to write a lot of code. I am however already a programmer, one with ~25 years of experience. I’ve also lead organizations of 2-200 people.

So while I don’t think the world I described exists today — one where non-programmers, with neither programming nor programmer-management experience, use these tools to build software — I don’t a priori disbelieve its possibility.

The thing is that also empowering individuals to do specialized activities by way of a tool (instead of themselves having to specialize) is a hallmark of progress? Like I don’t need a “professional” to wash my clothes, I don’t need to wash my clothes myself. I use a washing machine.

I don’t need to hire a programmer. I don’t need to be a programmer. I can use a tool to program for me.

(We sure as hell aren’t there yet, but that’s a possibility).

“Practical freedom” is a very important measure of freedom. If you are generally more free to do what you want, how much does it matter that you live in a dictatorship? If I live in a democracy with 10,000 laws I can’t meaningful affect with 1 vote, am I free?

I’ve gotten Arabic randomly in Claude Code. Programming is becoming more and more like magic.

One mostly sees people aggressively claiming they can’t, ever. On the other side people seem to simply allow that they might, or might eventually.
