Something something wasting machine cycles with a compiler.

Something something taking the crafts and the man out of craftsmanship to just get it out the door as quickly as possible.

All jest aside I mostly agree with you but I'd tack on another 20 years for a total of 30.

Though in this technological jump I don't think people are as excited (understandably) as when the teletype came on scene. I too like the potential but dislike the whole discourse around it, the ethics involved and the way it's deployed. Such is life I suppose.

Fair enough. Thank you for sating my curiosity. I'm not quite as optimistic as you, but I'm excited at the potential to be proven wrong. :)
