To Be Continuous: Have We Forgotten How To Code?
In this episode, Edith and Paul discuss the role of programmers in today's world, with a focus on the increasing ease of programming due to tools like AWS and Heroku. They also touch on the left-pad incident and how it relates to microservices. Edith argues that while some may argue that only "real" programmers write the tools, there is value in people who use these tools to build innovative things. Paul agrees, noting that as programming becomes easier, people will be able to build complex applications with minimal coding knowledge. They also discuss how the increasing ease of programming has led to a greater focus on product management and user experience.
