Here I've created a basic Paint program with no pens, brushes or other drawing tools. Instead you get the AI to create the painting tools for you and it writes, tests and deploys the JavaScript for you live, usually within 30 seconds.
It only uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo model too which is fast and good enough for this use case.
We run every piece of client-specific custom integration work through it.
Plumbing a few systems together is a piece of cake - either triggered by webhook or scheduled cron-like.
There are tonnes of out the box nodes for common services, but for everything else the JavaScript code block and HTTP request nodes fill in any missing gaps.
We’ve tried Zapier, Integromat and loads of others - N8N has nailed the UX for us.
It’s like a vegan meat company also selling pork sausage just in case they miss out on some passing carnivores.
In a nutshell, learn C++.
You can't say a majority voted leave as such, but you also can't say a majority wanted to remain. The only factual figures we have suggested a majority would have voted leave.
If many businesses can now get by with "mashing frameworks and libraries together" then that is a good thing - it means problems have been solved in a repeatable way that many people can benefit from, and the real software engineers, rather than doing the same old work over again can refocus on new challenges and create the frameworks and libraries of tomorrow.
Is that really a bad thing? The only people putting themselves out of a job are people trying to earn a living working on problems that were solved a long time ago.
Suggesting there are fewer jobs now for software engineers than any time in the past is a bit of a stretch!
