Programming Isn't Special
Original: Programming Isn't Special https://blog.glyph.im/2026/10/programming-isnt-special.html # Programming # Tech # Opinion
Software developer Glyph has published an opinion piece arguing that programming should not be treated as a unique or privileged discipline, particularly in debates about automation and AI. The essay is being shared and discussed on developer communities, where responses are framing it as a provocative take on programmers' professional identity and the value of coding skills.
Why now: Developers are actively debating AI's impact on coding skills, so an essay challenging programming's special status is sparking discussion.
