We’re approaching the limits of computer power – we need new programmers
This is a topic that really interests me, but I couldn&#x27;t read the article -- either a paywall, ad-wall, or some other reader-hostile blocker incongruent with the foundation of the Internet prevents usability. Ah well. I&#x27;ll join the conversation regardless.<p>For all the programmers out there -- _how do we do this?_. I came into programming through Matlab and Python in Economics and Data Science. I don&#x27;t have formal training in software engineering. I know some C, some Fortran, and have a journeryman&#x27;s understanding of how my tools interact with the hardware they run on.<p>Where can I learn how to be extremely efficient and treat my  operating environment always as resource constrained? Am I correct in seeing the rise of point-and-click cloud configuration hell-sites like AWS are masking the problem by distributing inefficiently? (sorry if unrelated, spent hours debugging Amazon Glue code last night and struck me as related).<p>In other words -- how can we tell what is the path forward?
