Abstract

Since the dawn of programming, several developments in programming language design and programming methodology have been hailed as the end of the profession of programmer; they have all proven to be exaggerated rumors, to echo the words attributed to Mark Twain. In this short paper, we ponder the question of whether the emergence of large language models finally realizes these prophecies? Also, we discuss why even if this prophecy is finally realized, it does not change the job of the researcher in programming.
