    The yawning gap in tech skills has gone on for so long that it’s creating some surprising shifts in supply and demand. The most ferocious appetite for software development talent, for instance, is no longer in Silicon Valley. And now, in many companies, developer jobs aren’t even reserved for developers.

    Yeah, pretty much an advertisement, but I figured if I have to see this nonsense, you get to as well.

      That’s because a relatively new technology, known as low-code or no-code platforms The irony to that is what is missing. The selling point of OO and every other "architectural" tech: Code re-use. You would think that by now, we would have small, stable, portable, cross-platform, documented, tested libraries for just about everything generic that you can think of. You would think by now that we would have ways of gluing these things together, without resorting to these "low-code" platforms, but as actual developer tools. But no. Software development is still in Kindergarten, leading to the "yawning gap", not in technical skill per se, but in decent tooling. Ideally, re-use and developer tools should be why we need less programmers. But because of the plethora of half-baked frameworks, open source projects for every variation on a theme, and the nightmare of doing web development on an architecture that originally had no Javascript and only 5 HTML tags, yeah, you get a yawning gap and a definite market niche (hardly a niche, more like an impact crater the size of the moon) to fill the gap created by the chaos of software development.

        If you substitute QuickBase with SharePoint, will it still be valid?

          Dont need to recode what is already available. Not if you have to pay for it than what is open source code for. :)

            On top of that, almost every project I had to do with had some silly 'requirements' that will not so easily be done with any 'no code' thingie. Perhaps so ething that needs massive multithreading and complex synchronization and still is not as fast as some dum... ... ... manager thought it should be.

            The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
            This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                Excel spreadsheets. :rolleyes:

                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
