Cringe. This Guardian article about Bill Gate's book "Source Code" explains "source code" as if it were a relic from the olden days.

@dantleech indeed it is cringe, although... if you change "source code" to "machine code", and "AI/ML" to "compilers"... it's kinda familiar :D but I fear this soon to be coming illiteracy among developers... This paragraph feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy :/

@dantleech lol that’s pretty inexcusable 😂 in fact, LLMs are just source code generators of dubious quality. Source code hasn’t gone away. If it had, we’d need something besides a large LANGUAGE model
