:[Describe panel here]
:We programmed a program program new programs.
:The machine did the coding, but we still spot- checked it and fixed issues
:Ha. Half this program is just gibberish/whole sections do nothing
:Over time we noticed a strange phenomenon
:It's weird. The smarter we make the program, the larger the percentage of its code is gibberish we call it "uunk code."
:The junk code became so ubiquitous, we hadto spend most of our time just cleaning it up.
:Did you have a sec to check the functional parts?
:No. Here's hoping it works
:Not only did it work, it workeo better. Then it dawned onus
:Oh my god the robots are told to make the highest quality code. So... they routed around humans
:The junk code
:Is busywork to keep us from mucking around in the
:Functional
:Part
:We decided to hide the truth.
:We can't tell the programmers it'd destroy their psyches if they found out human programming is just... human day care
:Humans haven't programmed anything in decades. All the languages and ideas and jargon are just toys in the robots sandbox the real programming happens at a lower level, but none of the programmers know it
:Weird. This subroutine works now, but swear I didn't change a thing
:Nowadays, we're just part of the junk code don't believe me? Go ahead- compare programmer speak to gibberish- generating spambots. Can you tell the difference?
:I use pylibmc to talk to memcached from django.
:Pfft! Ruby, man ruby!
