By the way, if anyone wonders about the title of this blog post "Programming still sucks" (and the "sorry peter" at the beginning), its like a continuation, or maybe a response from an old article, called "Programming Sucks" by Peter Welch.
Which is also nice read, albeit less pessimistic than this one IMO. The current one sounds more like a eulogy for programming as craft and as an art form (hopefully it does not come true).
@Amorpheus @codebyjeff If you want a somewhat Christian-catholic answer. A prophet not necessarily predicts the future, but claims to be connected with God or speak for it.
Jesus, speaking of false prophets, says that to recognise them, you have to see "the fruit they bear". A false prophet will never bear good fruit, a true one will always bear good fruit.
Depending on the interpretation, a true prophet can simply mean to be a good decent person, that never actually claims to be a prophet.
