may be AI will allow us to raise the level of abstraction, just as compilers, or OO did ? We (humans) will still program (through AI) but the programming language will be different nicolas On 2026-06-07 18:39, Esteban Lorenzano via Pharo-dev wrote:
I like what Linus Torvalds say here : https://thenewstack.io/torvalds-ai-programming-productivity/
In the best of cases, is a productivity tool. Just like compilers were at a point (compilers did not have all the ecological issues associated, of course).
The first thing we need to do is stop anthropomorphizing tools. It really freaks me out when people talk about LLMs â and agents â as if they were human.

About AI and truck factor
This post https://www.shapeandship.ai/p/cheap-to-build-costly-to-keep argues that with AI coding the truck factor tends toward 0... /In a post-mortem, this surfaces as "nobody knew this code existed," which is worse than "only one person knew."/
They talk about "comprehension debt" (evolution of the technical debt concept)

Dear Pharo users and developers,
I posted a first article in a series about using AI in Pharo development. After seeing the world embrace agentic development tools, I decided it was time to look into them and see how they can be used for software development in Pharo.

As always, all feedback is welcome.
Happy reading!
