In this episode I unpack Welsh’s (2023) publication titled “The end of programming,” which asks when generative AI will replace the need for knowing how to program.

Article
Welsh, M. (2023). The End of Programming. Communications of the ACM, 66(1), 34-35

My One Sentence Summary
This article asks when generative AI will replace the need for knowing how to program.

Some Of My Lingering Questions/Thoughts
- I highly recommend taking a look at the comments section
- How would this impact CS education at large?
- I still don’t think computational thinking is the answer
- If the shift is from doing the programming to teaching a machine what to program, we still need to understand how to program

Each episode of the #CSK8 Podcast explores research, experiences, or perspectives on computer science education through interviews with computer science educators, scholars, and administrators, as well as episodes that summarize and unpack implications of research for classroom teachers who are interested in learning more about practical applications of research in their classroom.
