We, Programmers: A Chronicle of Coders from Ada to AI

This history of computer programming details what a programmer was, is, and will be in the future world of AI-driven software development. Other books on this subject either focus on just the history of programming, a specific person in history, or just a technical look at programming, but this title breaks programming down into three eras (before 1970, 1970-Today, and the Future of Programming), highlighting important programmers throughout history while weaving in the code that a programmer is looking for in a programming book. In particular, the last section uniquely addresses the death of Moores' law, the flailing of languages, the truth about Quantum Computing and AI, and the need for professionalism and ethics, as the future of programming enters uncharted territories.
