Dry.io Wants To Democratize Software Development Using AI (venturebeat.com)

An anonymous reader writes: We've seen companies big and small build everything from AI-driven developer tools to AI-powered developer environments. But what if instead of having AI merely help developers write code, it did all the heavy lifting? Dry.io, a developer playground that helps you write web apps using just a few lines of code, began accepting signups today for its first wave of external testing. The programmable software platform lets you set the parameters of what you want to build, "and the AI takes care of the rest."

I have heard about the death of programming for years. Since the mid 90's people have been telling me that software that can write software better than programmers can is just around the corner. I'm still waiting. Development tools have gotten better and newer languages are certainly easier and faster to develop on, although they don't result in faster code. Right now AI is little more than an industry buzzword. It isn't real yet, not in the way its marketed at least. Don't expect anyone to change this soon.
