An entire alphabet soup of Feds have been paying much more attention recently to our celebrity CEO and his company. There is a certain, very expensive option, which his company was hyping to customers, for a few extra thousand dollars. The problem was that this option didn't really exist, and never really would. Very recently, the Feds quietly reached out to the company, and told them to end this charade or else. The company just abruptly stopped offering this non-existent option, and may owe consumers hundreds of millions of dollars.
I don't know if this is the reason, or some sort of short-seller voodoo.
Any nontrivial program requires specifications, testing, debugging, and lots of time before it runs to spec.
I'll start worrying when a programmer can write a program that can write a program that can write a program.
As a famous person once said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
I'll be worried when a programmer writes a program that can write a program that can modify itself, then re-compile and test itself to see if the modifications were done properly, then posts itself to github.
