It's funny to read you, programmers       are a dying race. I like your insights and others here. Forth gives me       a grounding what's important. There exist much knowledge about       programming and languages but I've read the deeply frustration of       Wirth about ignoring his warnings of wasting ressources by lazy       programming, same observation made by Moore 60 years ago.              It's business driven subject and "Forth's the last resort of DIY" said       Moore :). Now you have a right to repair thing. A right to stop the       wastings in software maybe take another fifty years. Most younger       people are not interested at IT-jobs told me Heise-ticker today, I fear       not the dying of thinkful programming. Somebody sent me an       Chatgpt-comment to his script, an editor macro. Friendly blah an       commenting like this line of code do this and that line do that. He was       very impressed how intelligent the commentary was. Ok, that's a result       of working with 100 languages I suppose, you better take two or five       and really try to understand it and I didn't think at Python.              Hundred of planes cannot start because it's software is not actualized,       hello Chatgpt, "Even with slimmed-down software, it takes around a       year before the *** built on stockpiles are delivered." Brave new world.              --       Zong              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
