The best argument against the idea that AI will replace programmers wholesale is the relative unpopularity of prolog. As an industry, we don't take advantage of fantastic automation tech from the 70s, and instead write Java.

Hey if anyone likes community radio stations

I'm building a little app for listening to them in the browser. Kind of like a car radio dial but for the world.
