And, like, real programmers, like, do, like, memory management themselves, and they do all you know, they get this this this whole craft of writing writing, you know, writing writing c code.

there was this big fight in the in the technical community, which is is scripting real programming or not. Right? Because it's it's like it's kind of cheating. Right? Because real programmers write code that compiles to machine code. And, like, real programmers, like, do, like, memory management themselves, and they do all you know, they get this this this whole craft of writing writing, you know, writing writing c code. And, you know, these these JavaScript or Python programmers are just doing this kinda lightweight thing. It doesn't even really count as as coding. And, of course, the answer is yes. It very much counted. And now most coding is done with the scripting languages, right, which that have you see my point. The scripting languages have abstracted away, like, five layers of detail underneath that that people used to do by hand, and they don't anymore. And then and then there's and then your to your point, like, AI coding is the next layer on that. AI coding actually abstracts the way abstracts the way the process of actually writing the scripting code. Right? And so in one sense, this is a really big deal for all the obvious reasons. But on the other hand, it's like, okay. This is the next layer of the task redefinition under the job of programmer.
