Comment
The article fails to note that every five years there is a new trend that threatens to eliminate programming. COBOL was supposed to be a "business language" rather than a "programming language" and then there were expert systems and other AI stuff and then CASE tools and now it is all about MDA code generators. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I do not believe that those who constantly proclaim the end of programming exactly know what programming is.
