Your point about ai reminds me of a similar concept in a TED talk I encountered recently. The connections between these ideas are fascinating!

I'm currently on chapter 7 and already this has transformed my understanding of javascript. Has anyone else had this experience?

I wonder how programming might evolve in the next decade. The book hints at future trends but doesn't go into detail.
