The IT segment catering to the latter of the subject, is the ERP segment.
Businesses still continued before computers, based on paper, file based manual systems. This comprise a host of activities like invoicing, physical stock,...etc.
A typical invoicing program would be in the range of several thousand lines of code, resulting in not less than around 10 man days.
Well that is the time it takes to INSTRUCT THE COMPUTER
to carry out the invoicing activity.
How long will it take to train a human to carry out the task of invoicing? Well if that human is smart, may be an hour or less. But let's say that it be one day(8 to 5).
So we are saying that we coders are dumb!!!! We are taking 10 times the time to code than the time to train!!!! How can that be?
Well, a human has a mind which can be trained. Well give the machine a mind. Real Mind, not AM(Artificial Mind).

No, we coders are extremely clever. We can take a mindless machine and train it to perform tasks that used to require a mind!

If my boss was saying that kind of thing to me I'd read it as "change your attitude" and I would.

If my boss had said that to me I would tell him to take that dime and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Mike, Mike, Mike. You forgot an essential part of your response.
I would tell him to take that dime, fold it until it's all sharp corners, and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Yeah, that makes cents.

I've occasionally worked for other people, but over time I figured I was as smart or smarter than them and decided to work for myself, which I've done most of my life.

Fo sho, the word "boss" has a total negative connotation to it, that's more akin to master. That only works in Kung Fu movies.

Agreed, but to be fair, most people don't realize what it's like to employ people. Once you hire people, with your own money/budget, you tend to have a bit more empathy for employers. Maybe he's a douche, but we don't know. What we do know is the OP has issues.

Can't argue with any of that.

Absolutely, I agree 100%, there are bad on both sides.

Less than an hour after the Boeing/ULA rep made the (provably false) statement on live NASA TV that Starliner was riding on top of the most reliable rocket ever built, the launch was scrubbed due to an oxygen valve failure in the 2nd stage.
The slogan used to be "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going". They lost this when they removed engineers from the C-Suite.

Nothing wrong here.
How many nasa launches were scrubbed because of a sensor glitch ?

While I agree that the launch scrub was the right call, the disconnect between the ULA spokesperson's statement about the Atlas V being the most reliable launch system ever, the scrub, and the fact that SpaceX's Falcon 9 now has more successful launches and booster recoveries than Atlas V has launches just screams propaganda.

A lot more honest then say, Morton Thiokol.

Morton Thiokol told NASA not to launch the Challenger that day. NASA overruled them because President Reagan was visiting.
|
|
|

Morton Thiokol ultimately approved the launch, against engineers recommendations.

Morton Thiokol only approved the launch after NASA threatened to blacklist them for future contracts.

Agreed, it's a tough spot for them, nevertheless they bowed to the pressure.

Entirely correct. Of the three major defense companies I worked for in the past, none still exist. The end was clear once the MBAs and other unqualified suits took over management from the engineers who successfully ran the companies for decades.

Perhaps, for the first time in this millennium, FORTRAN comes in the Top 10 TIOBE Index - TIOBE [^]
As a side note, my 'mother-tongue' is FORTRAN, being the first computer language i learnt in 1987.
Hope this news isn't a repeat.
