AI is Dissolving the Barriers to Programming

The post summarizes Elon Musk's view: AI is turning programming languages, frameworks, and traditional development processes into "transitional tools," as models may eventually target machine code directly, bypassing the syntax layers familiar to humans.
It further extends this to Neuralink and the concept of "imagination-to-software": if inputs become intents rather than keyboards and screens, the core technical ability will no longer be mastering a specific language, but rather "the ability to think clearly."
