   I agree with this, & do not forget COBOL :)  Github's   
   CEO came out with something similar as what Bayou said   
   yesterday I think.  Remember, almost all CEOs moved up   
   through marketing or finance.  They have do idea what   
   development is.   
      
   I think these CEOs are in a dreamworld about AI.  I have   
   been programming for multiple decades and have seen many   
   iterations of that dream.  All it did was create more jobs   
   for developers and raised their pay.  I expect nothing   
   different from AI.
