Java at 30: The Genius Behind the Code That Changed Tech – The New Stack

Java at 30: The Genius Behind the Code That Changed Tech – The New Stack:

When asked about the “low code, no code” trend, Gosling expresses skepticism rooted in historical context: “People have been saying low code, no code for decades. That was the pitch for COBOL.” He noted that such approaches typically excel in narrow domains but struggle with complexity outside their specific focus areas.

“My biggest problem with AI and ML is just the names.” He suggests that “advanced statistical methods” would be a more accurate descriptor than terms that invite misleading analogies to human reasoning. In his view, these technologies represent “extremely complex hammers and screwdrivers”: tools that humans use rather than autonomous systems that threaten jobs.

..and my personal fav:

“You get started on a vibe coding session, and it can actually be pretty cool, but as soon as your project gets even slightly complicated, they pretty much always blow their brains out.”
