Is the end of programming nigh? If you ask Matt Welsh, he’d say yes. As Richard McManus https://thenewstack.io/coding-sucks-anyway-matt-welsh-on-the-end-of-programming/, Welsh is a former professor of computer science at Harvard who spoke at a virtual meetup of the http://www.chicagoacm.org/ (ACM), explaining his thesis that ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot represent the beginning of the end of programming. Welsh joined us on The New Stack Makers to discuss his perspectives about the end of programming and answer questions about the future of computer science, distributed computing, and more.

Still, programming languages are complex, Welsh said.
