  • Even if AI will turn out to be great method for programming, it will replace humans in programming. There will be no place left for human programmers.

    Otherwise, and when AI turn out to be a massive hype, it will lead to huge bubble burst which will take lots of tech companies with it. There will be no demand for software for a while, as we did not need much in the first place.

    Either way, programming as a career is fucked.

    EDIT: Wow, it’s both funny and tragic to see the butthurt reaction. Poor folks who chose programming as a career…


















  • Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

    This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

    Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.
