Someone's having a full existential crisis on LinkedIn about how Python is going to replace assembly language. The hot take here is that AI-generated code is just like compiler output—we blindly trust it without understanding what's underneath.

The comparison is actually kind of brilliant in a terrifying way. Just like we stopped worrying about register allocation when compilers got good, this person thinks we'll stop understanding our own code when AI gets good enough. The "10x developer" becomes a "10x prompter" who can't debug their copilot's output. Yikes.

But here's the kicker: they're calling it a "transition, not a bug." The whole "software engineering is being rewritten" spiel sounds like someone trying to justify why they don't need to learn data structures anymore because ChatGPT can write their algorithms. The craft isn't dying, it's just "moving up the stack"—which is corporate speak for "I don't want to learn how hash tables work."

The irony? This philosophical manifesto was probably written by someone who's never touched assembly or C, yet they're confidently declaring Python will become the new assembly. Sure, and JavaScript will become the new machine code. 🙄
