| Hi, author here. Thanks for your comment. >>The computer shifted the complexity of our solutions from the world of atoms to the world of ideas.
>And that's fucking awesome! Thanks everyone that was part in making that a reality! I glad you are entertained with programming. I am too! but we should judge a tool like programming by its productivity, not by it's entertaining powers. > We can create things as complex as we can logically describe them. One of my points is that we can't. To make a single app facebook needs hundreds of engineers and it is still buggy. Humans are, yet again, the weaker link in software engineering. I believe we need fundamentally better tools. > It's also incredibly difficult to create something that will acomodate everyone else's solutions. Agreed. I'd very happy with a tool that is not general purpose that could churn though CRUD systems (vast majority of systems our there) in a matter of hours without errors. If you want to something else like AI, or games or whathaveyou, use other tools built specifically for that or a programming language if none are available. That CRUD tool (gross oversimplification) could be expanded with new capabilities as long as we understand those new capabilities properly. > Saying programming sucks and wishfull thinking does not help anyone. Not happy? Start hacking on the next thing! I am, thanks for the encouragement. |
