Not A Convicted Felon<p>You know, we invented systems before there were computers. <br>'Forms' were on paper, rather than on screens.<br>An 'in tray' was an actual metal wire, or wooden tray, for paper letters, notes, memos and forms.<br>A database was called a 'filing cabinet'.<br>An 'interface' was a mail box.<br>A 'front end' was a person, with a job title like administrator, or clerk.<br>These systems were described, in excruciating detail, in procedure manuals.<br>The processes were run not by CPUs, but by people.<br>'Bugs' were when people made mistakes.</p><p>Systems were difficult to understand, even harder to diagnose, and very very hard to fix or change.<br>To change the way a department worked, for e.g. accounts receivable was so hard that most companies never even tried.</p><p>And yet somehow people are under the impression that it is the code that is the difficult bit about modern business systems. <br>So they try and make the code part easier. <br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LowCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowCode</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LoCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoCode</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NoCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoCode</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> </p><p>It was never the code.
