There are many seasoned and programmers that have many years of experience on this forum, and could you share some of the points that you have encountered? LOL, these may have caused a few grey hairs to have sprouted on my head :slight_smile: No matter what new language is created, I usually end u…

[image] bgrommes: And the actual problem is often – one might even say, usually – not what the client tells you it is. If I say so myself, going into a business, understanding how they operate and figuring out what their real needs are (as opposed to what they thing they are) is one of my big…

[image] TheFifth: We all need a rubber duck ! In our company we ask each other to be the rubber duck quite a bit. For us it means ‘I’m trying to figure something out and I just need someone to listen for a bit while I blather on - and if you have any insight I’d appreciate it’. Works almost …

[image] eugenedakin: There are many seasoned and programmers that have many years of experience on this forum, and could you share some of the points that you have encountered? After coding for years on end and using multiple languages I have to say that one should move to using no-code/low-c…

Optimizing for less code is de-optimizing for detailed control over appearance and behavior and independence from some vendor’s concept of how the app ought to appear / behave plus their vision for the best approach to the solution (and inevitably at some point your client …

[image] bgrommes: it’s nice to have choices but god help you if you make the wrong choice @bgrommes , This seems to be painfully true. Many times a project was started and then quickly realized that the language/code/IDE wouldn’t work. [image] JuliaTruchsess: This. Time and again, I’ve b…
