Matt Welsh has been talking and writing about the end of programming as such. He’s asking whether large language models eliminate programming as we know it, and he’s excited that the answer is “yes”: eventually, if not in the immediate future. His reaction was “This prompt is really programming.” Does it really disappear?

Memory is a relatively scarce resource on many consumer computers, so a feature to limit how much memory a process uses seems like a good idea, and Microsoft did indeed implement such a feature.
