Doesn’t matter, the future of software engineering is always going to be “your boss saying into a machine what he wants”, one way or another. He’ll pay for it, and he’ll pay for the mistakes, too, because it’s always cheaper than human labour.
Yeah, absolutely. That’s why when people use salesforce’s easy to use flows to define business logic, they just get the business guys to do it, and they don’t manage it with fleets and fleets of programmers.
Source : Worked with salesforce as a developer, and the preference was “declarative programming” (read : flowchart diagrams) over writing Apex code,because at some point, an administrator could maintain it.
Right? RIGHT?!
No. At the end of the day, you’re going to get a technical person to manage whatever fucking mechanism you invent, otherwise it’s going to fall to pieces because some asshat can’t figure out what happens on the 29th of February.
I warned my fellow software engineering students that this was the future back in 2006. And they believed me, but they also got really pissed.
… I forgot to mention one teeny part of that…
What happens when the company providing the tokens decides that they now cost twice as much? ten times?
Also, it’s non deterministic. Good luck staying secure.
