Update (28/01/2023 CE):
It only took a year after this was written for [OpenAI Codex](https://openai.com/blog/openai-codex/) to become reasonably competent at programming. Oops. And I didn't actually think to update this until now, when I happened to be reviewing it. Regardless, I think the relevant argument still holds up, inasmuch as even today's language models still aren't that great at "thinky" programming tasks, and mostly serve to reveal how much stupid glue code we have to write.
