Actually LanX, perhaps this would be the future programming paradigm, assuming AI takes off. Blitzprogramming. Throw everything you got at the problem. I can even imagine the AI creating multiple threads to accomplish the same task via different approaches and whoever returns back wins. An exaggeration for the case at hand though ...

And perhaps software maintanability's role in the future will be diminshed: Specs change? Then create another program. It's true the brain and Nature, in general, don't waste resources like this unless there is good benefit. They tend to reuse and adapt (but also cannibalise unfit specimens). But then that's the Nature of a finite planet. In a digital planet, perhaps it would be cheaper to scrap previous projects.

Testing's role will be pivotal. It may be called "Spec Conformance". Wow, I can't imagine my life without my daily fix of Programming. And fish is scarce today in this forsaken basin.

5min edit: perhaps another paradigm will be Specs and Programs *evolve* together, there would be no need for converting photos...

Anyway, thanks to Aldebaran++ for yet another food-for-thought post.
