AI and developer obsolescence - BCS 2025.pdfSeb Rose
Everything looks solvable if you ignore most of the complications. Many things look impossible when you’re overwhelmed by the details.
Abstraction has been fundamental in helping humanity harness computing technology to deliver world changing solutions. But, over the years, there have been many failed attempts to raise the level of abstraction and empower the wider population to create software without the need for specialist developers. And the need for skilled software developers has risen inexorably.
Does the current interest in AI and low/no code development simply herald the cyclical return of our economy's yearning for ever higher levels of abstraction and reduced reliance on software developers? Or has the technological landscape changed sufficiently to make developer obsolescence a more likely outcome?

Spin Glass Models of Neural Networks: The Curie-Weiss Model from Statistical ...Charles Martin
The Curie–Weiss Model is a classic from physics that is foundational to understanding the statistical mechanics approach to the theory of neural networks. And, in particular, to the theory behind weightwatcher. In this deck, I present:
• Core Mathematical Techniques: Explore the mean-field theory and the saddle-point approximation (SPA) in the large-N limit, which provide a clear derivation of the phase diagram.
• Simple Phase Behavior: See how the model predicts a phase transition—from a disordered paramagnetic state to an ordered ferromagnetic state—which parallels the behavior observed in neural network training.
• Bridging to Modern Theory: The math here is also essential for understanding the theoretical backbone behind Weightwatcher SETOL theory. Both introduce critical techniques that help explain and predict phase behavior in modern deep learning architectures.
Whether you’re a physicist or an ML practitioner, these insights offer a deeper look at how classical models inform today’s neural network theory.
