In future news: a new industry dedicated to fixing no-code solutions has emerged. Since time and resources have already been poured into the no-code solution, businesses have no real bargaining power to push back against the cost of hiring these specialists. When asked about the relative cost discrepancy compared to traditional development, a manager interviewed anonymously responded "[it] ends up being more expensive, but that's pushed to the next budget cycle. Not my problem."
I jest but we all know it's true

Surely less of a jest and more of a logical deduction. How else could it be?
Unless and until AI gets clever enough to really predict what end users actually want, low code/no code generated by end users will need fixing, maintaining, and completion of fiddly bits. This is actually nothing new. Tools like 4GLs, Access, report generators, etc. have been around for a long time and have proven that this process happens.
If such tools are to be more common and more capable, which seems natural, then it is inevitable that more professional support/maintenance/fixing people will be needed. These people are currently called developers.

Anyone with a modicum of experience on AutoSAR knows how much a licensed Vektor consultant can ask for 30 hours of training and help (not developement, that has to be done by customer's resources). When I saw the invoice I had a half stroke... then got really pissed, since it was more than my yearly income.

I've never worked in the auto industry but I feel like I've heard others here on CodeProject mention how absurdly expensive things are in that industry. Is it like this AutoSAR program has no competition, is basically required, but no one wants to work with it so those that do make a fortune?

It hasn't, for reasons. First, it's an operating system. Second, it's ISO26262 certified. Third, it met the requirements of various automotive committees, more or less (like most de facto standards it was developed before the commitee ever decided anything and then has been modified incrementally).
Also, it allows a lot of interoperability between manifacturers, as it defines the communication protocols between any ECU, virtualizes them and implements most of the low level code.
Jon McKee wrote: no one wants to work with it
Many would love to, but it's proprietary and Vektor bills ungodly amount of money for useless training and necessary certifications and licenses. Even their non AutoSAR programs, for which there are low cost (as in 200$ instead of 10-20k) or free alternatives, are grossly overpriced.

I work in this field of low-code/no-code platforms now and I have more than a decade of experience in app development. Just completed a project where these business devs has used excel as database bacause they don't understand SQL. Converted that app to use SQL and removed tons of steps that was making the whole process slow. There will always be a need for developers.

And this is why being a programmer is always going to provide a steady income. They need us to fix the crap their low/no coders produce.

With a 6G smartphone, you could read so many stories about 7G, 8G, and even 9G. Do I hear 7? 7G anyone? 8? How about 9G?

Wow, and I just bought my 5G. I think they do this on purpose! Why else would they fight against "Right to repair". Can I beat the curve and just buy a 9G already!

The encryption algorithm GEA-1 was implemented in mobile phones in the 1990s to encrypt data connections. You mean it's not just everyone around you that can hear your phone conversations?

Hmmmm,
The best place to hide information is probably in plain sight.
Case in point:
The Chris Maunder Gravatar icon: https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/a67a31d131918d8fc68180c034bed045.jpg?d=identicon&s=150&r=pg
Although there are 2^128 possible MD5 combinations and there are around 360 million domain names... only a fraction of those have MX records (mail server records) which will greatly reduce the search space. You can further reduce the search space by only searching through the top 100 or so email providers.
Permutation through the range of 1-4 letters [n][n][n][n]'@codeproject.com' we can quickly compute that a67a31d131918d8fc68180c034bed045 is the MD5 hash of chris@codeproject.com
Gravatar icons are a security risk and can be used for sitewide farming of emails.
Don't shoot the messenger.

P.S.
By the way I searched the codeproject forums first to make sure that Chris has publicly shared his e-mail before making this post. If this post violates any site rules just delete it.

Nobody likes passwords, says Microsoft's chief information security officer. Here's how the software giant is getting rid of them for good. If you outlaw 'p@ssword1' only outlaws will use 'p@ssword1'

From the article...
First of all the lead-in line from that article says, "Here's how the software giant is getting rid of them for good." But that really isn't explained anywhere in the article.
Arsenault (MS CISO) said: "Today, 99.9% of our users don't enter passwords in their environment. That said – progress over perfection – there are still legacy apps that will still prompt [for a password]," he says.
Ummm...I call BS.
First of all 99.9%?? Hmmm...
Secondly, back there behind all that...there is still a password, so...
I use my fingerprint on my laptop but that only works on that laptop...if it messes up I still have to type a password. Same thing with PIN.
