If you’ve never read it Vernon Vinge a fire upon the deep had a type of programmers in the future known as programmer archaeologists. The tldr is nobody wrote new code just dug up old code and bolted it together. I used to think that was silly, after llms lately and dealing with interns I no longer think of it as fiction.
Im an American, I wish we would cut this hero cult worship out and deal with this shit on our own. This isn’t a movie we won’t get a magic solution we neee to do the work even if it kills us.
