Yes

That is exactly what I was thinking. I was a seasoned C++ programmer and always loved reading articles like this. I can't imagine I will every write my own C++ code again -- or in any language. I now program with English specifications now and I am 10000% times more productive.

Good for you!

Some of us are professionals and like to understand our systems and how they work. I don't write assembly instructions by hand either, nor do I design CPUs much, but I want to - and likely need to - know how they work to make the best judgements.

I think you misunderstand -- I am still reading the article.

I could imagine that in near future when token prices are as high as they really are, programmers that can't imagine or remember how to write code anymore will clean our streets, drive our taxis and water our plants.

It will be easier than trying to learn to the new features of C++34.
