Contemporary technological paradigms are accelerating their integration—various programming methodologies are gradually unifying into a higher-dimensional development philosophy.

Just as the power holders of a certain era sought to reshape the entire ecosystem, current technological evolution is quietly redefining industry landscapes. The era that only programmers could master is accelerating to arrive.

From blockchain development to AI integration, from smart contract coding to cross-chain interoperability, those who understand code logic are becoming the builders of the next era. The increasing complexity of technology means that: developers proficient in programming will continue to have amplified influence, and the ability to wield code will become the most core competitive advantage in the Web3 ecosystem.

Programmers are about to take off... but this phrase sounds a bit threatening. Is code gradually becoming the sole authority? It sounds like a monopoly is coming. Really? Non-developers are really going to be eliminated? It feels a bit alarmist. Forget it, I can't change the industry's direction anyway, so just go with the flow. This batch of developers is really a bit arrogant... power is becoming more concentrated.

Ha, it's another round of the codeocracy theory. This time with a different take. Basically, the threshold is getting higher and higher, and those who understand are becoming more valuable. Being able to handle these complex logics definitely makes you more sought after. It's a bit dangerous—centralized power in the hands of technology. Contract bugs can kill a project, the pressure is just too high. It reminds me of those projects that got rugged; their code looked pretty impressive, after all. When it comes to ruling the world, programmers have exploded influence, and others are simply out. Does Web3 need such a high threshold? I don't quite agree.

Code is power, there's no doubt about that. But the real competition is still ahead. The set of smart contracts is becoming more and more complex... I'm a bit worried about being phased out, so I have to keep working hard. Another story of programmers ruling the world, sounds good but reality might not be that ideal. Cross-chain interoperability still has quite a few pitfalls to fill, it's not just about being able to write code. As technical complexity increases, so does the say in the matter... this logical loop is closing a bit too quickly.

Programmers are really going to dominate the world, haha. I always say whoever masters the code controls the future. Speaking of which, as the complexity continues to rise, how can beginners play? The threshold is really becoming more and more hardcore. Web3 still relies on coders to make a living. It seems like those without a coding background will be filtered out. This wave of integration is indeed fierce. Without learning programming, it feels like you'll be left behind by the times... Smart contracts and that whole system—if you don't understand code, you really can't get it to work. That's the truth.

The power of programmers is rising, and the threshold has really been raised. Oh my god, it's another argument that programming is the only way... But to be fair, it does feel like the technical barrier is getting higher and higher. Knowing how to code is indeed in demand, but if this continues, will there still be a way out for those without a technical background? Contracts, cross-chain, AI... It seems like you need to be able to write code for everything, I'm feeling envious. Programming complexity is off the charts, the next era belongs to those who can master code. The analogy of power restructuring is brilliant; the tech stack is the new center of power. That said, only a minority can truly master this system, right? The future of Web3 is the playground for programmers... I mean it seriously.
