Back in the 80s and 90s, programming meant relying on physical manuals and memorizing commands. Developers depended entirely on their ability to recall syntax and logic, working with limited documentation. Every line of code had to be carefully thought through, optimized from the ground up.
With the arrival of the internet, productivity skyrocketed. Programmers gained access to global knowledge, shared solutions, and code repositories. Error resolution became easier, and collaborative learning became the norm.
Today, we’ve entered the era of the AI Copilot. We no longer just consult code—we collaborate with intelligent systems that can generate structures, suggest improvements, and identify potential errors in real time.
