The post works hard to normalize the term "Narrow Waist" to the point that's it's burdensome. Using nondescriptive terms to define a wide range of services, languages, and protocols only alienates clients and serves to differentiate academics from the rest in the development talent pool. Development over time should become more relatable over time, not more academic unless we're talking about the machine level perhaps... It's why employers are having a really hard time trying to find angular, python, C, and rust devs despite PHP and .NET still dominating in most web based apps and sites. It would be interesting to know exactly how many no/low-code solutions are deployed in comparison to custom code solutions, and what type of business cases they serve currently... I think the results of that study would really make a lot of devs switch fields of expertise. Almost every employer is calling me about DevSecOps positions, while app design and development are an afterthought due to prevalence of low/no-code solutions because langs have become so convoluted and specialized in hopes of creating a monopolistic work dependency... Sorry to vent, but solutions simply are overcomplicated too often now, and most of the people making technical decisions are non technical, and not equipped to keep up with the ever-changing terminology and jargon used in the dev world, much less knowing the differences in languages and terminology. Over complexity and tech jargon are some of the most painfully alienating detriments to development in my experience. I think we would do a lot of good if we really got back to breaking down use cases and their individual (right-fit) solutions rather than sticking to redefining entire disciplines and forcing new terms that aren't properly descriptive frameworks, tools, and methods onto the industry as if one great new shoe fits all feet... You know, simpler jargon is better.
