By this "once" I meant big, generalisable concepts like CRUD (read this thread, your tiny bash scripts and such are out out of context). For this, yes, once it is discovered, it MUST be automated, and not doing so is unforgivable.
- crispyambulance 11y agoCRUD is "generalizable" only in textbook examples and behind your wet ears. Actual implementations vary widely from the truly simple to things with staggering complexity. Attached to each of the letters in the acronym of C.R.U.D. may be arbitrarily complex rules and constraints that can take many man-years to implement, have mission-critical risks, and require maintenance for decades. ERP's are "crud" applications, are they trivial? Perhaps in your view, admittedly they are shit for end-users and seem "unforgivably" stupid. Well, there's an opportunity for you to become a billionaire in short-order, implement ERP's and make Oracle your bitch. Not up to the challenge? Then perhaps refrain from calling the world stupid.
- sklogic 11y agoYes, they vary widely. With a vast majority of cases being trivial, simpler-than-textbook, and the rest mostly suitable for a nice and clean split between the C.R.U.D. workflow part and all that complex logic you're talking about, which is also usually being implemented by the idiots in a most unsuitable way, using low level languages and no proper abstractions. And yes, ERP is a pile of stupid shit. But you need an army of morally deprived Oracle-style salesmen to sell shit to the world. I know it well, worked a lot with the Oracle "partners" in the past. Oracle is a synonym for "overengineering".
