Re:The Dreamup: A codeless alternative to the Web on Wednesday August 12, 2020 @10:40AM (#24132473)
what about doing your web on word and save as html? doesn't seem like any code at all.
Re:Ask HN: C++ Dev Jobs Are Rare, Aren't They? on Thursday July 16, 2020 @10:23AM (#23859259)
People who master C++ already know easier languages. Business start with a prototype nocode(web solutions/excel/filemaker), then go to prototype dynamic language(js/python/lua/ruby), then to a prototype static managed code(java,c#), then to prototype production and optimization(C/C++/asm). It's a lot of money to make something fast and stable, so the business idea must be good enough to pay for that, and most business ideas aren't good enough, so they bankrupt before than production. Sketch drawings and natural language texts are most of the time a better solution for that temporary trend than code, that's why html would be enough "code".
