My new project is going to enable business to do IT work via intuitive interfaces and eliminate the IT team dependency at all.

It's not AI/BOTS/ROBOTS/ML that will replace us, we ourselves are our own enemies 🙄

I suspect it won't work and users woll be stupid enough to need an IT team

@alexbrooklyn that's what I hope and intend to 😜
Cheers to stupid users !

Let me guess... a no-code editor? Good luck, experience tells me it's doomed.

why are we enemies though? isn't replacing this whole crap good?

@nebula we are cutting down our own future prospect projects..

And who maintains the computers and network equipment that the clients will use to access these interfaces?
Im guessing some kind of IT team.

IT via intuitive interfaces replacing staff... Pretty sure I heard that about software defined networking, IaaS, SaaS, low/no code bpm, self-service apps via aws console, etc. I have faith in business users still thinking all that shit is confusing.

What I’m saying is, we’re never getting out of being network/cloud janitors so quit giving false hope to disgruntled engineers.

@hellomohit i've always found it darkly ironic that the ultimate goal for some programmers is to automate their own job away

The thing is, the code itself isnt where the complexity comes in, it's not the language either.

It's getting the computer to do what you want, and that's gonna be hard with or without a nice interface

@hellomohit I get that. we are replacing ourself and make parts of our job obsolete.

but I see this as a chance.
I think work will simply shift. but wouldn't it be cool if humans would for example only need 2/3 of work hours to archieve the same output?

for sure some political stuff is needed to make this work (unemployment and such).

Been doing IT work for over 20 years now and it’s been the same story since the first day I started work. Low code, no code, AI, analytics will all come together in perfect harmony and all programmer types will be eliminated. Since then, the number of devs has skyrocketed and software systems have become intertwined, complicated balls of absolute hell, all tied together with a myriad of endlessly complicated platforms, frameworks, and buzz words. The only thing that will replace the IT software developer is a perfectly executed human equivalent (or superior) artificial intelligence. That’s over a 100 years off, I don’t care what any articles say. Siri can’t even set up a meeting correctly, you think I’m gonna let that garbage drive my car?

@fiftyhz ok, sorry about the Siri comment - it’s very impressive stuff, it’s just not ready to drive my car 😆
