\u2014\u00a0Glitchy couch! \u2014\u00a0Anton exclaimed, yet another time crushing down his fingers by\u00a0heavy coach he\u00a0and Sergey were pulling for 14\u00a0storeys already.
\u2014\u00a0\u2018Glitchy\u2019? \u2014\u00a0Sergey asked\u00a0\u2014 have you been coder in\u00a0the past too?
They\u2019ve been working almost a\u00a0week together, but Sergey would have never suspected he was coder in the past. Lean and muscular Anton did not look the part at\u00a0all.
\u2014\u00a0I\u00a0had to\u00a0in\u00a0my\u00a0student years,\u00a0\u2014 Anton answered, abashed.
\u2014\u00a0Relax! One of\u00a0us. Layout, three years and\u00a0JS for every browser out there,\u00a0\u2014 Sergey perked\u00a0up, pushed the couch and pressed it\u00a0a\u00a0bit forcefully on\u00a0Anton.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u2014\u00a0Careful! This thing is\u00a0heavy. I\u00a0got only seven functional fingers left thanks to\u00a0it. By\u00a0the way, it\u00a0is\u00a0better not to\u00a0talk about your codepast around here. If\u00a0someone tells on\u00a0you\u00a0\u2014 they will kick you out in\u00a0an\u00a0instant.
\u2014\u00a0They do\u00a0that? My\u00a0last job\u00a0\u2014 they did not fire anyone, it\u00a0was just considered uneven to\u00a0speak on\u00a0the matter,\u00a0\u2014 Sergey was surprised a\u00a0bit and almost dropped couch, but collected himself at\u00a0the last moment.
\u2014\u00a0Yes, our boss\u00a0\u2014 he\u00a0dislikes ex-coders great deal. He\u00a0says: \u2018those who think too much won\u2019t work a\u00a0lot\u2019. There are about ten ex-coders around here and they work here only due to\u00a0the fact they knew boss for a\u00a0while\u00a0\u2014 me\u00a0included.
\u2014\u00a0You don\u2019t say\u2026 And I\u00a0thought I\u00a0am only ex-coder around here, would have never guessed others too.
\u2014\u00a0Who\u2019d want to\u00a0tell about codepast now? They keep quiet about\u00a0us and we\u00a0are thankful for that. I\u00a0have a\u00a0friend\u00a0\u2014 Vitaliy, at\u00a0his workplace they invented a\u00a0new trick to\u00a0expose ex-coders. They tell story in\u00a0a\u00a0smoker room about some guy that developed a\u00a0site faster than 14-coder team. Or\u00a0tell that 9\u00a0years ago someone infiltrated coding contest and won it\u00a0with mere phone beating best coders in\u00a0a\u00a0city. So\u00a0they tell those stories and they watch if\u00a0someone reacts and uncover himself. People with codepast can\u2019t hear it\u00a0for long, they expose themselves. Let\u2019s rest\u2026 there are 12\u00a0more storeys left and\u00a0I don\u2019t feel my\u00a0fingers, my\u00a0grasp is\u00a0weak.
\u2014\u00a0What passions. I\u00a0heard about\u00a0it, but\u00a0I thought it\u2019s all hearsay. Were there any smartphones that good 8\u00a0years ago? I\u00a0thought technology is\u00a0only 7\u00a0years old.
\u2014\u00a0They were. It\u00a0was distributed as\u00a0firmware for a\u00a0phone at\u00a0first. There was one fox who worked days an\u00a0honest job in\u00a0some company and pulled night shifts uploading that secret firmware to\u00a0a\u00a0restricted network. I\u00a0remember earning my\u00a0first apartment this way. Registered on\u00a0a\u00a0freelance site and was feeding jobs to\u00a0that phone, he\u00a0gave me\u00a0clean and readable code. I\u00a0could do\u00a02-3 jobs a\u00a0night. At\u00a0that time you had to\u00a0explain everything to\u00a0the phone\u00a0\u2014 it\u00a0could not figure it\u00a0out by\u00a0itself. In\u00a0a\u00a0year it\u00a0smarted up\u00a0to\u00a0a\u00a0pocket web-server level, a\u00a0year after coders became obsolete\u00a0\u2014 even new code for those phones were written by\u00a0other phones!
Anton hit coach\u2019s leg in\u00a0frustration, a\u00a0thump sounded and smell of\u00a0dust filled the air.
\u2014\u00a0How long are you going stall? \u2014\u00a0a\u00a0voice above sounded.
\u2014\u00a0Four storeys left! \u2014\u00a0shouted Anton in\u00a0ringing voice. He\u00a0grasped couch, turned around and asked in\u00a0quietly\u00a0\u2014 how CodeSet dawned upon you?
\u2014\u00a0My\u00a0mom called\u00a0me. She informed in\u00a0a\u00a0voice most pleased that she made a\u00a0site that\u00a0I promised her for seven months. I\u00a0checked\u00a0\u2014 indeed: fine site layout, opens quickly, clean code. Not much info about her gardening yet, but\u00a0I could tell there are articles added every day, everything is\u00a0handy and structured. She told me\u00a0that she saw in\u00a0news report a\u00a0story about making site of\u00a0your own with phone. You just have to\u00a0tell phone you want to\u00a0make one and what you want to\u00a0put there. She has been talking to\u00a0her phone for half a\u00a0day and it\u00a0made everything the way she want. Sure thing\u00a0I checked that too.
\u2014\u00a0You decided to\u00a0check yourself? \u2014\u00a0Anton knew what Sergey will answer already.
\u2014\u00a0Yeah, the very same evening. I\u00a0have never spoken to\u00a0the phone before, had its\u00a0AI switched off\u00a0\u2014 using it\u00a0for calls was handy, just ringer. \u2014\u00a0Sergey grabbed the couch more handy and continued\u00a0\u2014 I\u00a0switched it\u00a0on\u00a0and asked to\u00a0make a\u00a0HelloWorld page. A\u00a0second later I\u2019ve been looking at\u00a0it\u00a0on\u00a0my\u00a0rig\u2019s display. Most amusingly the page was hosted on\u00a0my\u00a0phone. I\u00a0had a\u00a0chill down my\u00a0spine. I\u00a0asked phone to\u00a0make a\u00a0page with my\u00a0resume and my\u00a0project\u2019s story. Then I\u00a0gave it\u00a0access to\u00a0my\u00a0computer. Two second later\u00a0I saw my\u00a0resume with actual data. Blasted phone found my\u00a0old resume, updated the data, made a\u00a0page and hosted\u00a0it. As\u00a0if\u00a0it\u00a0was reading my\u00a0mind it\u00a0found every successful project\u00a0I made and added it\u00a0to\u00a0resume too. Most scary thing is\u00a0that thing understood meaning of\u00a0expression \u00abplay with fonts\u00bb and picked up\u00a0design according to\u00a0my\u00a0preference. I\u00a0understood how mom could accomplish what she had in\u00a0mind so\u00a0quickly. Now she adds content to\u00a0her gardening site by\u00a0simple talking to\u00a0her phone, adds photos there and talk to\u00a0other people. Her server is\u00a0her phone in\u00a0right pocket of\u00a0hers.
That evening I\u2019ve been fiddling with the phone for a\u00a0long time making it\u00a0program complex algorithms and sophisticated models. I\u2019ve been desperately trying to\u00a0find any advantage of\u00a0living human coder over AI. It\u00a0was like a\u00a0bucket of\u00a0cold water for\u00a0me. I\u00a0realized: they can replace me\u00a0with a\u00a0simple phone that could be\u00a0bought in\u00a0any store.
There just was resounding straining footsteps and coach shuffling off walls was heard for a\u00a0while.
\u2014\u00a0And now am\u00a0I thinking about script for a\u00a0bot that could pull this coach instead of\u00a0us.
\u2014\u00a0Me\u00a0too,\u00a0\u2014 said Anton.<\/p>\n
