Perfection. You have made such an excellent. However, I don't want to detract from that but it's like, in reality, this is a completely obvious point but because of this AI/LLM brain-rot that has taken over the software programmer community, writ large, this is particularly insightful. It's also just a sad and unimaginative state we are in to think that no more programming languages will ever be needed other than what currently exists in March 2026 because of LLMs.

This is really insulting. I think you're wrong, AI agent programming is very good now, and you will have to admit it at some point.

Insulting to whom? Are you anthropomorphizing LLMs. Also, you think it is insulting it is a bad idea to complete outsource software development to it. If that’s the case then being insulting sounds like a good thing.

Obviously not. Insulting to programmers who use them, hence I object to the term "brain-rot". Clearly the insinuation is we're just suffering from brain rot.
