Why Write Code in 2026

I assume there's a clear technical reason why GOTO is harmful, it adds to the complexity of the code, makes it harder to understand and fix and evolve. Wouldn't the same difficulties affect the LLMs ability to understand and fix and evolve the code as well?

As a human with a human level of working memory, the number of things I can keep in my head and map to concepts and functions is unfortunately limited. An AI running on an Nvidia supercomputer has higher limitations on what it can hold in its working memory, so could theoretically handle more than my human brain can.

But it won't because it's a language model no an artificial intelligence.
