No-code in manufacturing: automation without programming

I see a different future.

As a side-effect of pushing "automation" agenda corporations will not have needed workforce to accomplish the task.

The marketing delusions and wishful thinking are popular methods of self-destruction. Sadly in the corporate world, the more you climb the less oxygen you get. And with lack of oxygen human brain is prone to malfunction.

You can have some form of automation, but the need of competent programmers will not vanish into the thin air.

>Is PHP worth learning in 2021?

The first google result:

PHP is an open-source programming language that is completely free, and because it supports all the main browsers, it is highly scalable. ... PHP is not dying and is definitely worth learning in 2021 and beyond. There are still thousands of jobs available for new PHP programmers

I’m calling that out as a straw man. Who uses PHP to run gear / robots?

This is an example of old technology (programming language) pronounced dead numerous times.

I can give another example: COBOL. https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-cobol/

The idea behind this is that marketing and agenda driven "visions" often paint wrong picture towards an ideal future. And reality always finds a way to strike back.

I code in PHP very frequently (thanks to Laravel), I’m not declaring it dead by any stretch of the imagination. I just don’t think it’s in daily use on the assembly line. It’s all PLC. And where you do see a Raspberry Pi on the floor, it’s Python, C/C++ or C# before it’s PHP.

Can you imagine? The evil twin of JavaScript on the server.

As a PHP programmer I'm offended that you would in imply any similarities between a language that actually has proper objects and JS.
