    “Call it what you like, you’re still going to need us” Code.

    It’s just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn’t mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the “no code” rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it.

    If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won’t be too painful to add.
