The copium is I think many people got comfortable post financial crisis with nothing much changing or happening. I think many people really liked a decade stretch with not much more than web framework updates and smart phone versioning.
We are just back on track.
I just read Oracular Programming: A Modular Foundation for Building LLM-Enabled Software the other day.
We don't even have a new paradigm yet. I would be shocked that in 10 years I don't look back at this time of writing a prompt into a chatbot and then pasting the code into an IDE as completely comical.
The most shocking thing to me is we are right back on track to what I would have expected in 2000 for 2025. In 2019 those expectations seemed like science fiction delusions after nothing happening for so long.
It feels a bit like Halide, where the goal and the strategy are separated so that each can be optimized independently.
Those new paradigms are being discovered by hordes of vibecoders, myself included. I am having wonderful results with TDD and AI assisted design.
IDEs are now mostly browsers for code, and I no longer copy and paste with a chatbot.
Curious what you think about the Oracular paper. One area that I have been working on for the last couple weeks is extracting ToT for the domain and then using the LLM to generate an ensemble of exploration strategies over that tree.
