turing was right in theory about many things
but in practicality many of his theories turned out to not be workable

for instance the turing test was passed in the 1950s using essentially random phrase generators
turing completeness is barely even seen as the minimum capability for a programming language
he did the best he could do

just map all the possible things to a table bro ;^)

>Alan Turing predicts high level language compilers, high level language optimizations and declarative programming (Lisp) 10 years before happens
too bad he died a kekfag and didnt live to see it

Too bad the faggot never could have conceptualized just how complex coding would get in the decades to come. A computer cannot write codes creatively, it can only do what it is told to do specifically, it cannot create a program that is more efficient than one a human could write.

>>51846058

Yes, that's what we'd call a library.

So in a sense, he was right.

>>51848540
But programmers still write libraries, when the current ones don't meet the demands that are needed.

Won't be in our lifetime so who cares

"programmers" were literally people that converted the instructions to punch cards


so really he's just saying that compilers would make those people obsolete

then you get into the weird debate about what it means for a "software engineer" to be an engineer

Let's face it, we're being phased out already. We're a good half a dozen of abstractions down the rabbit hole as it is.

In most dev jobs out there today, be it software architect or hands-on dev, your job is to be an API monkey. Sure, the architect pieces together larger blocks, but all the components already exist.

I've watched about a minute of that fat fuck talking, and I already think he has a chip on his shoulder about not being involved in "real engineering".

>>51846058
This is true, compilers and IDEs will become the new code monkeys.

>>51846114
Alan Turing as a fag who got what he deserved, good riddance. Seriously, fuck that faggot, he should be forgotten.

This seems suspicious. Sauce?

>>51846058
Seeing as in 1947 a programmer was a woman who rearranged the wires of the machine, Turing was absolutely proven right.

>>51849045
There were no punch cards in Turings day anon.
