The coming revolution in software development<\/strong><\/a> — from forbes.com by Matt Bornstein<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Amid the deep learning hype, though, many observers miss the biggest reason to be optimistic about its future: deep learning requires coders to write very little actual code. Rather than relying on preset rules or if-then statements, a deep learning system writes rules automatically based on past examples. A software developer only has to create a \u201crough skeleton<\/a>,\u201d to paraphrase Andrej Karpathy from Tesla, then let the computers do the rest.<\/p>\n

In this new world, developers no longer need to design a unique algorithm for each problem. Most work focuses, instead, on generating datasets that reflect desired behavior and managing the training process. Pete Warden from Google\u2019s TensorFlow team\u00a0pointed this out<\/a>as far back as 2014: \u201cI used to be a coder,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNow I teach computers to write their own programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again: the programming model driving the most important advances in software today does not require a significant amount of actual programming.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for the future of software development?<\/p>\n
