On: Coders Programming Themselves Out of a Job (2018)

[JoeAltmaier]

I had a nightmare once, where I was sitting at a desk in a small room coding. Somebody asked me what I was doing.

"I'm writing Cobol Printer Drivers. Its the last programming job in the world, because they've got machines to write everything else".

A person walked in the door with a box, and set it on my desk.

"What's that?"

"Its a device to write Cobol Printer Drivers."

I got up, walked to the door and opened it. Outside was nothing -just a grey fog.

Then I woke up sweating.
