Re:Ask HN: Why isn’t visual programming a bigger thing? on Thursday May 21, 2020 @11:58AM (#23260036)
as someone who's worked a lot with LabVIEW and automating some considerably old instruments...i hate it i hate it i hate it. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns, most every paradigm I know is wrong in this bizarro-land willy-wonka very proprietary and very expensive IDE. Not a fan. Not worth the opportunity cost of not learning other languages that are useful in society. Its the school of thought it subscribes to, the way things are designed just makes zero sense. Learning something that makes you unlearn the right way to learn a way that only works with one company's MATLAB-priced software, is no fun at all.

as a wise person once told me, go where you're appreciated, not where you're tolerated (theres obvious limits to this)
