Haha wow, you're so so funny. You may have shown too much already. Also, be careful, you might be too smart. You're cute though

Actually, it's a huge moat because the majority of the tech industry is like you, refusing to abandon your horseless carriage artistry for what is coming, and that is going to be natural language programming.

The issue is that the software industry as a whole has lost trust, larger society does not trust software to not have surveillance capitalistic aspects, and that is just the tip of the unethical nonsense that the software industry tried to pretend "there's nothing that can be done about it". Well, there is: abandonment of professionally published software because it cannot be trusted. Technologically, engineering-wise it will be a huge step back for the efficiency of software, but who the fuck cares when "efficient professional software" robs one blind?

The software industry is rapidly becoming an unethical shithole, and no uber productivity anything sells without trust.
