AI BriefingThe Fourth Age of Programming
Key point
Machine learning-based code generation technology is opening a new era of programming, with platforms like Replit leading this transformation.
Details
Now that software has gained the ability to write and draw like humans, the core of the real transformation lies in the emergence of computer programs that can write computer programs.
The advent of models like OpenAI's Codex signals one more step closer to an era of self-improving software. Generative models that produce code are likely to become one of humanity's most important inventions, which is why they demand careful analysis from technical, economic, and cultural perspectives.
The platform most worth watching in this ecosystem right now is Replit. Replit has an environment capable of learning from uniquely valuable data such as:
- Real-time keystroke and clickstream data
- Detailed execution and performance data
- Character-level file change data
The history of programming has moved through the mainframe era, the PC-based 'cowboy coder' era, and the era centered on social coding and the cloud, and is now entering the era of ML-based pair programming.
