Yet another "automatic" software development tool


Great news! Software developers are now obsolete! A company called Attunity has developed a platform called InFocus "which will enable customers to build their own applications".

Yawn.

Too bad this promise has been repeated about every 5 years since the introduction of FORTRAN and BASIC (and maybe earlier). While some aspects of software development can be made easier, there will always remain some inherent complexity which cannot be reduced. As such software development will always require experts, at least to do anything remotely novel.
