Today, it’s a toy. In ten years, it will be writing far more sophisticated code and replacing cheap coding shops. I don’t think senior engineering roles are at risk, but if you’re making low dollars writing bullshit code, your job is at risk.

This is really cool, but maybe not super useful. English isn't a good language at all to describe control flow or business logic, and while this can make programming more intuitive for speakers of English, it lacks the fidelity that an actual programming language would provide, resulting in code that doesn't necessarily work how you would want it to.

Nice, but rather unbalanced. Once you get to a certain amount of helium you can just click the helium button repeatedly until you're gaining balloons fast enough to switch to the cart button and you'll be a billionaire are in no time. I currently have 1.7 billion dollars. If only it was that easy IRL...

Welp, that's it, we're all about to be replaced.

I'm able to get my first employee at around 2m30s. The trick is to blow balloons as fast as possible until you can afford helium, then alternate between blowing balloons and trading them for helium until you're producing balloons so fast that you can just keep clicking on helium, then click on helium until you have about 37,000 balloons / 800 helium, then stop clicking helium, wait to hit 45,000, sell all the balloons, and buy the employee.
