software is far from solved. a glimmer of ponderoos as to what 2026-2027 is as follows:
we need better tools, compiler engineers are about to enter into a renaissance era
when inferencing capacity is no longer the bottle neck, it becomes the compiler and verification tool chain problem.
you want a decent amount of back prsssure on per unit of change but if that backpressure is too slow it punishes LLM mistakes thus reduces the amount of cycles per minute.
what matters is being able to read a file, build an application and run tests in >milliseconds<
programming language authors that focus on this and utilise llms to accelerate them and their community with an intense focus on cycle times will get ahead
as
it’s a safe bet that inferencing speed won’t be a limiting factor in the very very near future.
it’s verification and how fast you can verify and pump the result back into the inferencing window.
