A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

There is a long, long history in this industry, going back to COBOL, at least, of "just one magic tool, bro, and we can get all of the non-programmers to make their own software."

It hasn't happened yet

Having dealt with turning requirements into software for 25 years myself, I can say that it will never happen.

Primarily because most business people can't even define the problems they're trying to solve, let alone define a solution for it.

Half my job seems to be digging back up towards them to get at the real crux of any issue.
