The evolution of software engineering is fascinating to me. We started by coding in thin wrappers over machine code and then moved on to higher-level abstractions. Now, we've reached the point where we discuss how we should talk to a mystical genie in a box.

I'm not being sarcastic. This is absolutely incredible.

And I've been had a long enough to go through that whole progression. Actually from the earlier step of writing machine code. It's been and continues to be a fun journey which is why I'm still working.
