We discuss various aspects of software development, highlighting the evolution and challenges within the field. Several articles address the concept of "dying" or "legacy" programming languages like Visual Basic, Objective-C, and PowerBuilder, examining reasons for their decline and the ongoing relevance of some in specialized contexts. A significant portion of the texts focuses on the rise of low-code/no-code platforms and "citizen developers," emphasizing their potential for faster application development and addressing technical debt, while also cautioning about associated risks such as security concerns, scalability issues, and the creation of "business-led workarounds." Finally, the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on coding is explored, particularly regarding tools like GitHub Copilot, with discussions on their efficiency versus potential drawbacks like decreased code quality and the persistent issue of AI "hallucinations" stemming from biased or insufficient training data.
