AI is expected to be better equipped than humans to write a high school essay by 2026, drive a truck by 2027, work in retail by 2031, write a best-selling book by 2049, and perform surgery by 2053. There is a 50 percent chance AI will outperform all human tasks in 45 years and automate all human jobs in 120 years.2 I don't know what high school West attended, but driving a truck or working in retail are exactly the jobs waiting for you if you suck at writing high school essays. Even today we have robotic vehicles capable of navigating city streets. They can even disregard bicyclists, just like we do.

The "spaghetti code" is a pejorative term to refer to computer programs that have a complex and incomprehensible flow control structure. Its name derives from the fact that this type of code seems to resemble a plate of spaghetti, that is, a pile of intricate and knotted threads. Traditionally this style of programming is usually associated with basic and ancient languages, where the flow was controlled by very primitive control statements such as GO TO and using line numbers. An example of language that invited the use of spaghetti code is Microsoft's QBasic in its first versions. Throughout these decades programming has been evolving, from spaghetti code to functional programming and from functional programming to object-oriented programming with modularity, abstraction, encapsulation, decoupling capacity.
