Computer science returns to the domain of scientists and engineers

A tweet that got 15K likes and reminded me of Fortran (created to let scientists and engineers program at a higher level) is below.

Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering.

The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.
