As a professional who develops in these kind of systems, I find it hillarious that you think it removes programmers. All these flowcharting tools that "business" users can use are essentially akin to a giant mechano or lego set. Yes, a "business" user can build a house out of lego blocks, you can even have a little sink, and hot plate and all of the other lovely bits and pieces.
But who makes those bits? Developers.
What happens when some highly intelligent business user goes and puts the hotplate underneath the shower? Well... you have to protect against that.
At the end of the day, we are no longer developing software, but developing software that develops software. The reason business wants to bring this in, is speed to market. They don't want to have to run a new SDLC to correct a spelling mistake, move an image to the left a few pixels, or to create yet another new form that takes 6 months to analyse, develop, QA and release.
It's actually more work at the end of the day for developers, less rubbish work for both developers and the business, and a higher level of value.
Funny will be when they mount these drone shields, on drones. Then the drone shields will be warning you about other drone shields operating in the area.
Quite well. I have worked for quite a few great companies and have been compensated well. When it comes time for pay review, they don't give me rubbish lines of one bucket is not connected to the other bucket, and we don't earn enough to pay you enough, even though you're generating direct value rubbish. Remember that you will always have an opportunity cost staying with an organisation. My point is, when it's time to leave, leave.
Yeah, this happened to me once too. My boss was quite personally hurt when I handed in my letter of resignation AND rejected his counter offer to pay. My reasoning: 1. Never accept counter offers - this means that your employer is not paying you what you're really worth, and means that you'll always have to threaten to leave to get paid a fair amount. 2. Never accept counter offers - it's just a method for them to change the timing of when you leave to something more convenient to them.
If more people had the guts to trust in their own abilities, we would all be better off.
Let's put all of the strawmen arguments aside. What we are talking about is a situation where there is an advised duty of care, with something that is valuable to us to be kept secret. The provision of our information. This is more analogous to a bank. There is an implied expectation of security when we put money into its security box, that only we can access it.
Imagine if you had the expectation of your secure documents being in a bank vault, with limited access, multiple keys, so that bank employees can't just access your goods etc is in place. Instead, you have a set of shoe boxes, stored in a garden shed with a screen door flapping in the breeze.
If a bank heist happens, and your documents are stolen, and the bank has done everything that they can do, then the breach should not be punished, if, however, a second heist occurs, and the bank has fallen for the same trap again, you would think that the bank should be held accountable, no?
Have you actually *seen* any Arnold Schwarzenegger movies from the 80's? Try Hercules in New York, Conan(s) et al. The only good one was the Terminator, as it required him to act like a meathead robot which he pulled off flawlessly.
The same comparison's can be made for Die Hard, and any movie with Mel Gibson in it (except for Mad Max I and II, where he was still Australian).
Phone apps will be no different. Just be sure to have a job during the trough of dissolutionment, or a day job you can pursue in the meantime. The real money is to be made after the hype curve when the technology matures.
Wait a second. "Think of the children" used to PROMOTE privacy? That's not how it's supposed to work! My head hurts, I have to go and lie down for a while...

I'd vote for getting a new pair of socks.
It's hard to see the realities of life when you sit in an ivory tower contemplating what the peasants might be doing today.
Take 36 Tylenol and see me in the morning.

Sounds like you need a beowulf cluster for that!

Polish? Why do you want to outsource this to Poland already?
Unfortunately 'zero defect manufacturing' was quickly negated by 'rubber stamp testing' and 'austeric quality manufacture'
Well aren't you the genius.
The only difference between genius and insanity is that all the voices get along.

I for one would never want a guy in my pants. Each to their own I suppose.
