There are some areas I'm hoping get addressed by the coming skyrocket in programmer productivity:

  1. Several phone apps aren't utter garbage anymore. I'm not holding my breath on this one.
  2. Online grocery websites aren't shit-full-of-timing errors. If I get this, I'll also wish for $1 million and buy a lottery ticket.
  3. Municipalities and their allies (townships, city services, various local unions) will have barely passable specialized software support that actually fits their size, location and maybe even culture.

I think that last one stands to be strongly enabled by AI code assist tools. It might not be the sexiest or highest paying job, but it'll be work that matters that largely isn't even being done today.
