Special Announcement - 01st April 2017 Artificial Intelligence will soon start cranking Apex, Visualforce, and JavaScript code - an anonymous source in the Salesforce R&D team has confirmed. The demo, that was exclusively shown in a private event to some human developers like me, was mind blowing to say the least. We were told that the code written by AI was demonstrably bug free, elegant and maintainable by a factor of 10. Their comments in the code were more descriptive, and in almost all cases, relevant and to the point. The variable names however were quite odd; some of them were just a string of weird emojis. The reason for this, according to the (human) AI researcher, was that the variable name and the code doesn't have to be human readable anymore. It just has to make sense to the machine.
