A developer relying on (current) visual tools isn't really a developer to me anyway. But I'm totally willing to give in here; the idea of visual programming has been around longer than me (search wikipedia for a start), and let's not forget that in digital circuitry visual tools are used (and are of use) a lot.
- tbronchain 12y agoIndeed! Visual tools makes the approach more "human". Simplified tools don't mean dummy tools. It's actually the total opposite: a developer forced to do deal with Ops is less likely to do some mistakes using a simpler tool, than trying to deal that things that he doesn't (and doesn't want to) understand. I understand the other point of view, that we better start by learning the most complicated things (I've started to learn programming with C and ASM, although I'm a 90s guy), and the whole challenge we have with VisualOps is to make the learning and usage easier, without breaking the knowledge.
