Dry.io Wants To Democratize Software Development Using AI (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader writes: We've seen companies big and small build everything from AI-driven developer tools to AI-powered developer environments. But what if instead of having AI merely help developers write code, it did all the heavy lifting? Dry.io, a developer playground that helps you write web apps using just a few lines of code, began accepting signups today for its first wave of external testing. The programmable software platform lets you set the parameters of what you want to build, "and the AI takes care of the rest."
"Founded in April 2018, Dry.io has not raised any money" - Shouldn't that be kind of a red flag or something?
No, it is not a red flag. Most companies should not need to "raise" (borrow) money to stay in business.
When a company funds growth from their own revenue stream, that is good, not bad.
The dream of businesses since the dawn of programming ... yes, as long as you can fully specify all the branches of logic, the machine can write the code for you!
Of course, it would help if we could devise some sort of symbolic written language to represent the logic, since human languages tend to be imprecise ...
Then the computer could tell you if you got the syntax wrong with the symbolic language or something.
It should only take Marketing a few years to get up to speed with using this. (In the meantime they will stop actually marketing, is that a problem?)
Hurrah, no more pricey programmers!
