New research suggests that remembering a song in your head is more than a passing nuisance -- it plays an important role in helping memories form, not only for the song, but also related life events. Because I needed to remember that it's a small world, after all...
And now so do you! :P

Argh. As I was reading that, a dozen or more songs went through my head and I couldn't pick one. Now I've got all of them playing in my head at once! I wonder what that means.

The latest data shows that tech workers are in high-demand - but the challenge now is to find the right candidates. "You never get free - everybody wants you"

Interesting article, but one of the commenters pegged it nicely.
The ACTUAL thing they should be saying is: "We can't find the type of worker that works the hours we want, in the environment we want, for the PAY that we want to pay them".
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."

They need people with real coding skills to fix the craptastic projects that attempted to use low/no code strategies.
They're finding out that OTS solutions are NOT the answer to company specific data requirements.
Manager: "We need this nifty new wiz-bang feature to be added to our ServiceNow/SharePoint/SalesForce/Tableau/QlikView app."
Low/No-coder: "We can't do that, or at least not the way you want it, and certainly not in the requested time frame."
Manager: "But I thought this low/no-code stuff was supposed to make everybody a programmer and provide faster solutions for database-heavy apps."

 I've spent too much time writing views/SPs for a sr. partner who has tried several dashboard reporting tools over the last decade. They want to contribute and despise having to rely on me for all the coding. I can appreciate that, but they are still dependent on me to write their queries and figure out how to implement/deliver the bloated results of whatever new tool we are trying this year.

Queries can take days, but it's possible to pull out specific files. Sadly, it doesn't support indices or SQL

A survey of IT leaders reveals that innovation is at risk as IT demands rise. However, IT leaders view business-led low-code/no-code application development as prudent and inevitable with the right protocols. "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
I'll let you decide if it's the 92%, or the 8%.

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?

Jon McKee wrote: Is it like this AutoSAR program has no competition
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.
