What's Beyond the Vibe Code Era?

I think I can answer this in 2 questions. Q: What was the point of a programming language? A: Humans could write code that translates to a lower level like binary or bytecode. Q: What is the point in asking a computer to write a human language to write a computer language? A: it makes absolutely no sense unless the point is so that humans can maintain the output. Then this is proof of a fact. As long as AI outputs human interoperable language, there will ALWAYS be programers. But here's the thing, this is going to be a nasty world to live in, people fighting for fewer and fewer jobs, when we could do something far better, more open, more alive. What I am talking about here is LLM to output not a program, but a system which follows one standard, a standard of how to arrange onesself to perform a specific goal, a system that is governed by a single runtime which runs everywhere, AI and just bytecode - a living programming language that is just an allowance of resources with a goal, that the AI forms the program on the fly, its successfull behaviours are locked in place as the for the runtime of that program, like a cache for behavior, talking in bitecode or binary as we don't need programming languages anymore. Who works on this type of system? Anyone But only ideas, good, and better - this will pay our bills.
