"Basically, NASA’s working with a bunch of files that are written in a somewhat human-readable format — if they need to make changes, they can just open up a text editor, do a bunch of testing on the ground, then send the updated file to the JWST. It’s certainly easier (and therefore likely less error-prone) than if every program was written in arcane code that you’d have to recompile if you wanted to make changes."

We are all either going to end up as JavaScript developers or influencers. There is nothing in between.
