I have not found that argument persuasive to the managers who believe that coding is inherently wasteful if what you’re trying to do is technically possible in a workflow builder GUI.
- marcinzm 7y agoThat's true but, personally, I just avoid working for managers like that.
- closeparen 7y agoI can avoid this at the line manager level, but Directors love these things.
- tatersolid 7y agoNo, we don’t.
- oneplane 7y agoCompare coding to managing and suddenly they're on board. In practical terms: a checklist for work can achieve the same thing as a manager verbalising and visualising that checklist. Every argument the manager has against that is the same as 'gui workflow' vs code.
- monstrado 7y agoNiFi is also very useful for visually chaining together scripts (e.g. foo | bar | baz). In NiFi you can use ExecuteProcess and ExecuteStreamCommand to basically do what pipes (|) does. Further, the intermediate data between each process is backed by a WAL. You can also mix and match your pipeline, for example you can mix-in some of your custom scripts, and periodically use built-in processors that are provided to do additional stuff (e.g. PutKafka).
