One of these: Croatian Wasitcoat[^] - it's a little baroque for my taste.

Yes, but we are the masters in complexity management …
Of course my bandana will be different …

I pretty much agree! But then I also agreed with your BRA-BEL prophecy...

I am convinced that the rule will be confirmed today …
thank you so much …

We are pioneers. Once things get consumer friendly we lose interest. It's in the blood. Discovering is much funnier than simply braindead producing.

Go tell that to QA

Sadly it's a common forma mentis these days, even without descending in the monkey show that is QA. I had colleagues that instead of thinking 5 minutes to a solution spent days looking for premade solutions and designed convoluted ways to glue them together. The end results were bug ridden, unmaintaineable and crumbled at the first change.
The simple idea of devising an algorithm was alien to them because "it's not possible to do better than the ones other people already made". Basically they were factory workers, you could swap programming with bending iron bars and they would hardly notice.

A colleague made a similar comment...
On a teleconference people were discussing a months long time lines to evaluate and implement some enterprisey solution to perform load testing.
Colleague speaking:
We capture enough information in our production log files so we can replay the logs against a test setup. Just a few hours of work to extract the info into a replay format. There was a long silence on the line... "Moving onto the next topic...".

Processes are good. Cobbling together anything written by others in the dirtiest possible way are not an acceptable process, nor are good.

Yes, process is good.
I'm thinking you are agreeing with me.
Imagine if there was a giant library which had every function you'd ever need.
You'd just drag and drop the functions you want into a file in the order you want them to work and voila! You're done.
This is process in the extreme. Very repeatable. Very boring.
The ultimate CASE tool[^]!

This is process in the extreme. Very repeatable. Very boring And very unlikely... at least for all the software that isn't mass produced. Modern websites might be buildable this way but every other type of software (firmware and specialized sw) is next to impossible to be done like this in a viable way.

I believe you are agreeing with me again.
I don't want to work on an assembly line either.
So, I am glad that CASE tools fail.
Now, AI on the other hand will probably write better software than all of us humans.

But will it resist armor piercing incendiary rounds? maybe one day infantry combat experience will become a required skill for a developer

How come everything is electronic nowadays anyway, surely you could see how the centrifugal governor regulated the steam engine, and you could machine these yourself. Now it's all 555 timers and 8088 microprocessors!

M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
