When low-code and no-code tools first hit the market, developers were nervous. Because who *really* wants to code, anyway? (/eyeroll)

"And if there’s one thing that really grinds developers’ gears, it’s being pulled away from innovative work to help complete tasks they consider menial."
I seriously disagree. What "really grinds developers' gears" is being pulled away from any work to work with, and fix problems created by, idiots.
Being able to let the idiots do whatever they want without developers ever getting involved is nirvana.
(It's also amusing that Laurel Kline sounds like she thinks this is something new.)

Hey look, someone has re-re-invented 4GL's.
I really wish people would learn from history, rather than repeat it.

The thing is, I'm always looking at how to avoid writing more code. It's really quite a skill which nobody teaches, certainly not from what I've seen, creating truly re-usable functions and groups of functions (those are called SDK's, right? And the thing that interfaces with them are API's, or in more foofoo terms, "services"?) Or even something as simple as refactoring a piece of code in a function out to a separate function so I'm not repeating myself. Or using metadata to define what needs to be done and writing just the general purpose code that works with the metadata. Etc.

At DevOps-focused London conference Continuous Lifecycle* today, Linda Rising challenged the superstition of tech professionals, a group that ought to have some affinity for science. "When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer"

And that's news? 
At DevOps-focused London conference Continuous Lifecycle* today
Add to the list:
DevOps
Continuous Lifecycle
You think not? Read the definition of DevOps:
DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.
And "continuous lifecycle" is an oxymoron. How can something that has a "lifecycle" - birth, life, death" be "continuous"? I thought most programmers didn't believe in an afterlife and reincarnation.

Proof that the tech industry hasn't ever studied Santayana
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

A coalition of human rights and technology groups released a new declaration on machine learning standards, calling on both governments and tech companies to ensure that algorithms respect basic principles of equality and non-discrimination Because as goes Toronto, so follows the world
It is the Centre of the Universe, after all. OK, maybe just Canada.

Yes! I was playing World of Tanks the other day and I fully intended to hit my opponent, but the algorithm was unfair and denied me my desires. It fully discriminated against me. Worse, the other team WON! How unequal is that? I didn't even get a ribbon for second place.

Microsoft's twice-a-year feature updates are a greater burden on companies than the old upgrade-every-six-years pace businesses used to face, according to Gartner Research. More frequent updates cost more? Wait, what?!

What a bunch of hooey. Almost all pc in my organization of 2000+ upgraded without a hitch, nobody even noticed that it had happened.

This is Gartner, which has a rather loose relationship with reality.

Yeah, they sound like someone trying to justify their existence and why they cost so much.

Hopefully, 4chan will do some "editing" just before the pages are sent off to the printer.

So, basically, we've got a clever - if entirely redundant - shiny new replacement for micro-fiche and we need to send it to the moon because, er, well ... no, I'm a bit lost at this point.
Who's actually paying for this?
