They live on the other side of the "flat" surface, of course!
All you need to do is to apply the inverse transform from the "flat" surface that we really live on to the "spherical" surface the benighted scientists insist that we live on, and you will know where to look!

I can understand the Flat Earth Society still hanging on in, say, the Netherlands. But these people can't have travelled much if they've never come across a hill, or seen skiing on the telly...

Most of the Dutch people I have met seem to be terribly tall. One of my best Dutch friends is 6ft 11ins tall. He claims it is because there are no mountain in the Netherlands so they had no choice but to be taller so they could see distant things!

It would be amusing to stage a debate between those who believe the Earth is flat and those who believe it is hollow.

Low code and no code environments are often made fun of on this site. I've actually used a low-code environment and yes, developers should be concerned. Adapt or die. They are incredibly powerful and not hard to learn.
But, somebody still has to write the low-code environments. That will always exist. But at some point the job of "programmer" will be flooded in the market and salaries will begin to drop. Unless you specialize in something that can't be moved to low-code.

That's a new idea! Grow your software on a field.

The "duhvelopers" who're at risk from those things are the ones asking the facepalmingly stupid questions on QA and SO. Perhaps if their jobs are deleted, we won't have to keep deleting their doomed cries for help.
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?

Not true at all. There is no reason most businesses can't run on low code environments today for the bulk of their apps.

Highly-skilled developers/architects will always be in demand. Unskilled developers should not be allowed anywhere near a keyboard.

These questions existed before MS Access made the promise. The question is over twenty years old. We heard about the semantical web and seen it fail.
I'm thinking about stopping with programming. I think I may be happier shoveling muck and leave the programming part for those that learned C# in two weeks.
As the one who crippled "Exceptional Magic" by putting out a free version; the one that caused a 14k euro bug and unpaid overtime for three people.
Yup, I'm quitting programming.

I saw a documentation about a developer who ran off to become a bush pilot in Africa. I would try that before shoveling muck.

I been in a plane, and still can't believe being in an aluminum tin can going at that speed.
And, where's muck, there's brass.

Real men fly helicopters. Much more fun to fly and lots of useful capabilities when you are in an area without much infrastructure, like runways. If those things would not cost so much to operate...

That's another option, but I know myself. I would get bored very quickly.

My son flies a Twin Otter in Northwest Territories, Canada. That thing can land on water, tundra, snow/ice and runways - and gets far better distance than a helicopter ever could. He loves his job!

Here's the kicker not generally considered:
People, like us, here (in the CP Lounge, of course) see these as more or less template driven websites (don't we already have that?) and there certainly seems to be a threat.
Except for one small thing:
And that small thing is the aptitude of these people to even thing about doing anything in the least bit technical. Damn - they have a hard to doing arithmetic. If there sites' to be more than a personal FauxBook then they'll need connectivity and such. Knowing what to store. Knowing what to retrieve. Etc etc etc.
My experience has found most people dumb as stick when it comes to doing anything beyond fondling their cell phones and calling themselves tech-savvy.
Boilerplate websites are already readily available and free - they don't concern me in the least. The only business I'd suspect will be lost is that craved by those hacks, slightly higher on the food chain, who had been their 'contractor' for website building.

How arrogant! These are poor ill people who need a brain pacemaker. Without it they would be reduced to mental vegetables.
