Programming languages, along with their tooling (compiler/interpreter), are just contracts between programmers and computers. If I write this, this will happen. LLMs and coding agents won't make the need for these kinds of contracts go away. They will just take new forms. And people who master these contracts will still be needed.

I'd even go further and note that anyone that tries to be a middleman between people that understand the code and the bots will eventually be obsolete. The perceived edge is only temporary while the world adapts to new tools.

In general I'm not a fan of middleman that don't add value. Those who find the way to bring value will stay.
No, a program is just a set of instructions for a computer. Contracts assign responsibilities for all contracting parties. I don't promise anything to a computer, it is not a legal entity.
Do contract always have to be legal?

There will always be middleman just like there are fiat banks since most plebs cannot handle self-custody and prefer to ask permission to use the own fiat currency!
