Having worked with neural networks since around 2017 and now with LLMs for coding since Feb 2023, my coding practices have evolved to the point where I've not written a SINGLE line of code in about 2 years (It's now January 20260 and I'm seeing the trend of where my software is headed.
It's ver clear to me now: Not only has coding itself been completely eliminated, but I'm now seeing a trend where after a peak of adding large amounts of functionality into my apps tha tI could never have done before, I'm now on a downward slope where it looks like I'll be adding less and less "code" to an app and more and more A.I.
I now add chatbots to my apps. Chatbots that know every feature of the app and can answer user's questons about how to use my app. I've also added the ability for my chatbots to carry out functions IN the software at the user's request. And now I've just added the ability for the AI to read the user's data in the app.
This completes everything that software or "apps" generally do. As AI gets more intelligent, the need for "apps" will reduce. For example, I just added data access to my AI chatbot in an app I'm creating and suddencly a world new of functionality is available that I did NOT code for, such as:
1. Searching the data
2. Producing well formatted reports on data
3. Exporting data as CSV, JSON, or whatever text based output the user wants.
There is ZERO code in my app for any of that. It's just automatically there because AI has access to the data.
I don't see this trend going anywhere but the complete and total elimination of apps. Your interface to your data will be AI, not a screen full of text entry boxes, radio buttons, and dropdown menus. Though, the AI may display options to you on an as-needed basis.
