    Have you seen how people do programming? We see lots of it in Voyager around holograms. It’s basically today’s AI programming assistants on steroids. everything probably uses some fucking 300 years JavaScript as a basis, and that’s why everything keeps breaking all the time.

      I really want to see an episode of Lower Decks where the captain watches engineers write programs, comes to the conclusion that “programming is just talking to the computer – I can do that” and fires all the engineers (or transfers them to other functions.)

      Yeah they just tell the computer what they want. They’re prompt engineers hundreds of years in the future. Programming, replicator, holodeck, lights in the quarters, whatever. Makes you wonder what all the button pushing is on the bridge. Maybe because it’s quieter than everyone talking over each other?
