Don't learn how to write code
- MurkyWaters 11y agoIt feels like a big chunk of context is missing in this blog post. It's pretty clear the author is talking to a specific audience instead of people at large. I have an inkling, but I would have liked to know who he thinks he's talking to.
- jasode 11y agotldr: You don't have to do programming and coding if there's an existing solution out there that has the building blocks to build a website without programming. One such authoring solution is... Bubble.is.
- Mithaldu 11y agoOh look, advertising for a product camouflaged as a helpful blog post.
- sotojuan 11y agoSeriously. I have no idea how this kind of stuff gets posted on here.
- yandrypozo 11y agoNeither I, It's hard to believe :(
- bryanrasmussen 11y ago" I found out what colors would work together and how I could articulate my idea of a subscription box. Here’s how it looks:" whitespace follows.
- milesf 11y agoI believe that in the future we won’t have to code as we think of it today. Coding will be replaced by designing, structuring and working with available technology to create new solutions." I remember thinking something similar back in the 80's (remember RAD: rapid application development?), and this is probably still true for quick one-offs. When you have to live with the code you write, this sort of view takes on a much different perspective.
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoIn fact I even used a game engine based on RAD in the 90s: 3DRAD which is terrible by today's standards but was huge attempt at WYSIWYG for the game dev environment.
- Kiro 11y agoThis might work for non-trivial CRUD applications but good luck building something more complex.
- yandrypozo 11y agoI just logged to write: The sad part of that article is a lot of people will believe that bullshit! Learn how to programming if you want to develop software: http://programming-motherfucker.com/ http://programming-motherfucker.com/
- tempodox 11y agoHow is it that only people so far off course are conceited enough to tell others how to do it? Attitudes like the one displayed here are the reason for the tremendous amount of nonfunctional software out there. Just do what you like best, pushing bitmaps around, and leave the unpleasant part (a.k.a. actually making it work) to some masochist who enjoys it.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoSometimes I wonder about DRY culture : "It took me 20 hours tops to develop the customers solution, because all the code was available online. I just had to find the right bits, squeeze them together and present them in an usable format." So many people put "non commercial" subclauses in their code that this sort of habit will bite you. Here is a "cooker" type developer, pulling random bits of "recipes" and tying them together into a project, without much knowledge of how they work or why. And someone will have to come along and fix it later. Or deal with someone sending legal cease and desist letters because they "ripped off our code".
- andrewclunn 11y agoOne more script kitty thinking that they've already mastered all there is to coding because they can use wiziwig tools. Congratulations. Every "program" you could write in 20 hours could be built in excel in 2. Anything more complicated will be entirely out of your grasp.
