1960s: "COBOL will let non-programmers make the software!"

1980s: "4GLs will let non-programmers make the software!"

2000s: "UML will let non-programmers make the software!"

2020s: "AI will let non-programmers make the software!"

@fiftyfloor @youngvulgarian @cooksimon Hate to be that guy but it's an important distinction. It is not a fancy Google search it is a sequence-of-words generator that's very good at making reasonable looking sequences.

The degree to which people who have never written a single line of code in their life fling the word "decentralized" around as a panacea to every human problem under the sun, without understanding anything about networking is really quite remarkable.

@MacMaryhill @bugleboy12 @DomMgy1 @ScotNational Yes that famous state The Unitary Kingdom of Great Britain I know it well.

Feel like any time someone ponders this stuff, the basic premises of higher education are left untouched. Why would students want to use essay generation? Because the university is not seen as a place to engage with ideas but has been made into a job factory

@Wolfboy_Whiskey @Princess9star @_Destiny_Renee @LilySimpson1312 Yea, should go without saying, use the correct tools if you have them.

Goal is to keep as much of the blood in the human as possible.

@Princess9star @_Destiny_Renee @LilySimpson1312 Yea the medical folks who put them back together handle that bit. First aid is mostly about ensuring they live long enough to get to the hospital.

@Princess9star @_Destiny_Renee @LilySimpson1312 You pack in into the gunshot wound and it's absorption and clotting properties help stop the victim bleeding to death.

It’s time to say it out loud: BUILD LESS SOFTWARE

Centering too much on adding new functionality will break your product, your users, and your team. Maybe your business. 1/10

@romancedawn097 @__lucyvictoria @bighaireecoo @desondy Tae is more post tense. Like Till as a contraction/informal form of untill.

"Come here till I try something" bit clunky but similar to: "Come here while I try something"

Forgive me PM for I have sinned, it has been 24 hours since my last standup. I pushed code to production without first performing the rite of linting.

He also said Labour will work in "multidisciplinary teams" that will "adopt a product-mindset using agile ceremonies, be empowered to make decisions and encouraged to focus on rapid prototyping, deployment and iteration". 🤷‍♀️

@nickemccurdy @JopsAndJools @ctrlshifti Completely bug free code you say?
