Karpathy called it in 2023: "The hottest new programming language is English."

Three years later, I feel it every single day.

I started my career writing Java.

Today most of my build time is spent writing English.

System prompts.
Specs.
Instructions for agents.

Here's what surprised me.

My English is getting better. Not fancier. It's getting clearer.

Vague words give vague output.

Precise words give working software.

The edge isn't knowing more syntax anymore.

It's knowing exactly what you want and saying it plainly.

Is AI making you a better writer too?
