My REAL opinion is that Human-Proving and Programming computers to prove are Equally important and worthwhile. I agree with Hamming that the role of computations is insight, not numbers or symbols. BUT, since 99 percent of working mathematicians do not know how to program non-trivially, I dramatized it, so that you will get moving. But sometimes being too pushy backfires, I guess. What made me very sad however, about many of the reactions, was the implication that proving is fun while programming is a dreadful chore.
Programming is every bit as fun as proving, in fact it beats it.
Non-trivial programming is at least as intellectually challenging and rewarding as proving. Now, Hear Yea, all you self-righteous defenders of insight and understanding. Whenever I want to learn a new subject, I announce a graduate course in it, since the best way to learn is by teaching. Since computers will not let you wave your hands and wing it. So it may well be true that all math will be fully automated one day, but this part of my prophecy was just for dramatic effect.
