Such a good comment and totally spot on. Yes, most people with the skills to build a modern day VB6 would not want use it

I am actually trying to make an open source successor, but using Javascript instead of Basic, at https://github.com/yazz/yazz and a demo at yazz.com

I think if you build a prototype first, then you will have people who may offer you funding.

Really nice article! I keep coming back to the ideas of Tuple spaces too, and am sure it will become mainstream one day.

I'm still building a low code system with an easy to use component marketplace where you can edit components within the low code tool. Still a work in progress: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

As someone who has worked in both startups and Enterprise IT for over 30 years (including large Java based systems) I see a use case for Rama in large companies who have a lot of difficulty glueing many different systems together to achieve

yes I agree. Pretty cool. I had a chat in Danish, and it would have been good to get feedback on my spelling and grammar mistakes

As a developer I “wish” chatgpt could take my job. Really hoping it happens sooner than later so I can get my product out into the world faster. Have tried many chatgpt and other A.I. tools to do this but all of these AI coding tools seem t

Such a nice perspective, I’ve actually felt this same way for several years now too

Author of a framework that also stores it's code in IPFS for easy sharing ( https://github.com/yazz/yazz ). ScrapScript is a really nice concept with how it stores code. I originally got the idea for storing the cod

Brilliant article. I feel the same. But I save my craftmanship for my own hobby projects

This is quite amazing. I actually built something even more crazy with Sqlite where I broke up the files into parts and then made hashes of the parts, so in total it would use less space than the sum of the files' space. i used this fo

37 Signals has many technical people and can afford to de-k8s. But K8s is designed for a totally different use case, for large corps where there are most non IT staff but where IT resources and standards need to be managed in a more central

Well "Visual Basic for the web" can mean many things. If you mean just an app builder online, then there are hundreds of options, the most popular probably being Retool or Bubble. Or do you mean run locally like Visual Basic and t

Author of Yazz here (and a big Retool fan), I was a former C++ developer and seeing visual basic for the first time in the mid 90s was a breath of fresh air for me. Now that I have time I"m writing an open source passion project of wha

Actually based on real disappearances. Of course the story has to be dramatised for the book ,but the stuff that actually goes on on cruise ships can be far worse than the book

Yes it definitely helps me when I try to explain it, so that’s something

Most colleagues (even developers) walk away in boredom as soon as the discussion gets too deep. I do understand though as they are happy to help me, but when it gets too deep they feel they are doing the work for me

Yes, many things here I should be doing more of, thanks: (1) UML is something I haven't been doing much of, I will try to use some sequence diagrams and other things, that could be useful (2) a table to layout all the variations of the

Yes, I do go through a debugger, but can be very tough to do sometimes when there are multiple concurrent threads/processes and execution divided between browser and server

Yes, I've started to do that more and it is definitely helping. Sometimes I need to also put things in an external Google Doc though just to explain how things fit together, or to explain certain abstractions with diagrams. Thanks

By moving parts I mean components in a system which change state, and communicate with other components. Anyway, yes, reading docs I guess is useful, usually out of date though. Yeah, good tips on trying to read the logs, to understand how

Yeah, I've done this a few times, and it really helps with my understanding of the code. Often I have found that colleagues or managers view the time as wasted, and I get comments such as "Why did you waste time rewriting that cod
