Are we (Developers) obsolete?
Check the date. It's April 1st, innit? I've been hearing genuine claims about completely automated software development since the 70's, and that's only when I started paying attention. I'm sure it started earlier. I'll believe it when I see it write a device driver.
{I wouldn't believe it even then. See DeclarativeDeviceDriver. Definition of policy is still required.}
