Software is inherently a physics problem not all the job titles and specializations made up the last 20 years as dev job salaries kept attracting people

That was all illusory social construct to prop up jobs

Still a whole lot of that in tech but it's all at the top of the org now. Leadership sensory experience and thus innate habit to forecast future been programmed by years of yes men they refuse to accept the jig is up for them too

Sensory memory of being a useless figurehead fosters a lot of existential dread in priests, politicians, and the like. Completely aware their day to day effort is insufficient to sustain them they know how co-dependent they are. They'll dig in harder.

See Chris Matthews flame out shrieking about socialist execution squads. Dude seriously thought everyone wants to hang him from a lamp post. The reality is people just want a sense of control back and not have their perception dragged along by Chris Matthews.

This argument just feels more like carefully crafted culture war shit.

Zuckerberg himself was saying in court in 2025 social media businesses like his are outdated memes. It's on their minds.

To help divest from old memes shuffle the people along from SaaS to AI ..."Social is bad! AI good!"

func randomName () { desired machine physics }

Everything around "desired machine physics" is superfluous wank; historically a biz case stored as code when some UI could feed biz case params go a function generator

Come on we know what we use computers for; media consumption and 2D data entry/review. Locally we just need a core engine for geometric transforms of visual state. What all these languages give us ability to create such a generic VM filled with customized semantics that mean nothing to solving the problem but plenty to a clever coder.

Kind of like Unicode we need distilled geometry primitives like "teapot for text" and desktop metaphors and to let people put the superfluous wank at the presentation layer

Which text used to be so making UI out of layers of text, OOP, and such made sense for decades

But we're just engaged in bloating system state through def jargon_to_encapsulate { desired machine physics } when we already know it's going to be simulated 3D or 2D visual transforms. We don't need to capture all those states in code verbatim.

Things like Jev are the future of models. Fine tuned on transforms given a context. "So you want to replicate GTA5? Here's a data set of geometric shapes and gradients constraints from all observed xyz" pipe that into your local renderer

We're entering the phase of software engineering (and engineering generally) where we realized we been dramatically over playing the song and can strip out entire asides and digressions, circumlocutions of provenance, to tighten up pacing and improve enjoyment of the outcomes. Hopefully. Or we kill ourselves. Through social squabbles (political, economic, religious, whatever) due to laziness to learn etiquette, and environmental destruction.
