I've been seeing this canard for the last 40 years. When my ghost return in 40 years hence, things will be no different.<p>It ranks up there with "We will all speak to our computers instead of WIMPing or CLIing them". Yeah, right. There's no way we will speak to our computers until AI has improved to such an extent that the spoken word is truly understood in all of its myriad nuances by a computer. I don't see that happening for at least another hundred years.
Again?<p>Disregard that, but we could really do with "fewest-code-possible" workflow engines with basic actions like modifying a database value or sending a mail on certain triggers. Flow of MS was hinting in that direction but the product got integrated into their BI solution and renamed power automate or something like that. And you have to pay for an action that does a HTTP-request. So I guess this was failure. Many companies might not know it, but are looking for that I think.
