Re^2: Is there a future for codeless software?

Of course! Haven't you seen Star Trek: TNG and how they program holodecks just by issuing vague verbal commands to future Siri? :-)

Don't worry though, I believe that takes place beyond the year 2400, so plenty of job security for all current software engineers to finish out their careers.

Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.

From what we can see, the future Siri still phones home at the soonest opportunity to get the request parsed. The request is almost certainly then outsourced to a coding and art team from sometime in the early '90s (by sling-shotting a courier ship around a star to deliver the task details, obviously), and the results are incorporated into the install files for the ship's computer so it is available immediately upon the original request.

Exactly, if everyone just properly utilized negative delay buffers such as this, even Microsoft couldn't slow computing down... actually, I take that back, they'd still somehow find a way. :-) Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.	[reply]

Haven't you seen Star Trek: TNG and how they program holodecks just by issuing vague verbal commands to future Siri? And five minutes after they do that, they always seems to need the whole crew fixing the resulting mess. Like, Holodeck characters taking control of the Enterprise... again. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're in a holodeck right now. Restarting the simulation in 5, 4, 3, 2 ...	[reply]

Warning! Safety systems offline. Do you want to take over the main computer (y/n)? Y `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]
