Programmer traces 35-year journey from Logo to AI-assisted coding

The author reflects on their decades-long programming journey, starting with Logo and BASIC in childhood, progressing through C and C# in high school and college, and delving into embedded systems and hardware interaction. Their experience spans electronics, networking, signal processing, and eventually, neural networks and modern AI techniques like RAG. The author emphasizes that the core skill is precisely describing a system for a machine to execute, regardless of the specific language used, and notes how AI now facilitates translating detailed pseudocode into functional code across various languages. AI

IMPACT Modern AI systems, particularly RAG, are changing how developers translate detailed specifications into functional code across various programming languages.
