Meta programming helps us in creating languages or programs that could facilitate the day to day tasks. The biggest example of this case would be any low level programming language we use. Assembler is a language that requires a lot of time and knowledge so we are able to program a simple task. So of course trying to teach a lot of people Assembler , can create a lot of problems in so many areas. People not understanding the material, programs with a lot of bugs that are hard to track and of course big amounts of code to solve simple tasks causing the level of complexity to maintain that code to increase. Therefore low level programming languages were started to be created so programmers could have a better understanding on how different programs would work. Yet higher level programing languages started to emerge , cause of the facility of learning this type of languages. The biggest examples are the SQL languages , even if people don't considered it as a programming language, is a level of abstraction that help us to generate certain actions that will return us a set of data. This is a great tool that is used in so many different type of applications and that would probably take a long time to disappear. Now there is a big revolution in the industry that is changing the way people use applications and data. This is machine learning, which makes us wonder if there could a point of this technology that we could send a couple of instructions that look like day to day language and the computer would be able to translate this requirements into code? This could be the biggest idea of meta programming , that the user requires a small amount of knowledge of programming but the agent is able to translate the whole conversation into code.  This sounds futuristic and is kinda scary to think about. We need to think about the implications that this type of technology can create in our society , and in which other industries can machine learning revolutionize.

Software Development is one of that areas that the people who are involve it will see so many aspects of it that is hard to describe to a newcomer what are the things they need to focus on. This is because the induistry has changed in a drastic way through the years and it will continue to change with time to time. Now a thing that people should understand in the industry is that everything is related to the base product which it is the code. With new type of frameworks and the way we handle the process to deliver requirements, the first that thing that matters the most is that it should work not matter the cost. Now I am not saying that delivering a perfectly documented code that doesn't work is a better solution, we should always deliver a working product to clients. Yet we have to considered the type of code we are delivering to them. Think about how easy is to maintain or understandable it is for other future developers. Cause even if this things doesn't impact us they will

Creating a complete program can be something so simple or complicated depending on the reach that the program needs to satisfy. This is an important idea and for us as Software Engineers something we don't need to forget. Usually as how as startups are growing in numbers and in size most of them roll with the same idea. This is that the program should only be able to solve the problems or requirements that were presented. The minimal working product that we can show to clients is the best option for developing new products. Even in the practices for managing the new startup projects are more guided to some type of Agile methodology. This is because it helps to adapt to the ideology that i mentioned before. Developing fast and minimal to the current requirements that the client needs. That is in essence the motto that a lot of companies are guided with. We can see it deviates from the old ideas of cascade methodologies , where usually it was a whole process on determining which woul
