You are attacking a strawman :) My claim pointed out specific types of problems that are solved by workflow software, and solved in substance, not in form.
- gruseom 19y agoMy claim pointed out specific types of problems that are solved by workflow software It did? I wonder how I read it ten times and missed that. "Distributed systems" doesn't seem like a very "specific type of problem" to me.

- gruseom 19y agoThat's not a list of problems, it's a list of buzzwords. Edit: nor is it specific. The class of programs encompassing those things is enormous.
- osipov 19y ago>>The class of programs encompassing those things is enormous. Heh. Welcome to the real world. If you'd like to call them buzzwords, I don't care, it is your prerogative. They are what they are. People who have done workflow software know what they mean. If you were to spend some time on Google you'd get a sense of the meaning too.
