>Most people I know who have some ML knowledge also realize how far we are from a computer program that can read code, read specs, and then decide how to implement or fix existing code.

That's exactly the wrong way to think about it IMO. My vision of Machine Programming is that it's a fluid OS/UI that adapts application architecture to how people actually use them. So for example you have "Deep Excel" which is trained first to give the basic functionality of a spreadsheet, but as each person uses it, it gets data about most used/combined UI elements, follow on actions etc... that "rewire" through RL the UX to behave in the way that the user indicates it wants to behave.

So each instance of the program running would be unique to each user and constantly changing to make it more adaptive to their needs. Network these in a deeper system and you can iterate on design and functionality of products way faster.

Sounds cool but have you ever given support to a non tech savvy Excel user? Now add the dimension of an ever changing UI.

Excel is probably a bad example, but you get the idea hopefully.

Didn't MS add a "dancing UI" to office at one stage?

Sounds like a take on the future of programming yc request for startups item. Cool thought.

I totally agree. I don't agree, however, think that this is the only future of programming. The statistical UI morphing may work for UX, but when it comes to algorithms writing novel algorithms to solve mathematical equations without external stimuli... That's just another story entirely, one seemingly far beyond the reach of Super Excel.
