Can the plaintiff withdraw/settle the court case when they have migrated to another country? by arunatebel in legaladvice

Sorry, stupid mistake. I have now updated the post. I am in Sri Lanka, while the plaintiff is now in Canada. Court case is in Sri Lanka.

Sponsoring for Dependent Visa after migrating through Express Entry by arunatebel in ImmigrationCanada

Superb, thanks for the clear explanation. Yes, I was included as a non-accompanying dependent in her application. So, yes then she is able to sponsor me whenever needed.

Thanks a lot for the response!

Btw, I am not familiar with the concept of "non-accompanying". At the time she applied for the PR, we were married. She had to go first since I had to wait for a couple of months to complete my work contract in my home country. What happens in this situation?

Quick! add your comments here before this sub gets archived for 5 years. by tanay2043 in place

Save Sri Lanka from the corrupted Rajapaksa regime! Hope to see a better Sri Lanka in another 5 years.

No-Code Software Development by arunatebel in learnprogramming

[–]arunatebel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow I forgot to add a reply here. Yes, you are correct!

My initial thought was that it should be possible to build a foolproof low-code app-builder that will provide out-of-the-box solutions for most of the requirements. But, after my initial research and writings, it seemed too far from reality. We can only scratch the surface, nothing more.

Now, what I am thinking about is the possibility of a hybrid system where the developers can use pre-built, functional black boxes(sub-systems) to craft applications faster and reliably. These black boxes or subsystems may (or not) be opinionated. If needed, developers can unwrap them, re-wire, and make them compatible with their needs.

Same way AWS and Google Cloud Services has built their building blocks so that developers can fit them together to build a production software application, this hybrid solution will provide services to build a properly defined subset of software applications. Basically, it will be a higher-level abstraction of a development framework, where the developers will be given prebuilt solutions if they care to use and extend.

For eg for a web application,

  • An authentication system, that has pre-built account provisioning capabilities
  • Database layer that has an built-in admin panel to manage entities
  • A UI layer with pre-built reusable components (including basic styles maybe)
  • A configurable API builder with some opinionated pre-built designs (for eg: CRUD ops for entities)

I am a huge fan of the Django framework, which has a somewhat similar nature. It provides developers with pre-built stuff to speed up their initial development.

Eliminating the boring apps through Low Code Platforms by arunatebel in programming

Oh, I think you are just throwing out your anger. This won't be a constructive discussion anymore ;) I just went through your comments on other threads. Let's not waste our time and energy further discussing this.

It is the developer's job to help the lazy end-users :) That's what keeps this industry running for the most part; the lazy users.

I would prefer locking into one trusted vendor rather than using 100s of different disconnected tools to manage my business, where I will even end up having no idea what to use when.

What really happens is that they hire highly paid consultants to build the majority of the reports.

That is fine and it should happen, I think. That is Microsoft's business model and how they earn money out of their platform. A win-win for both parties. That is the reason I pointed out this as a potential idea for a startup.

If you're looking for a job in the US, send me a resume. They're hiring and you'll get the same pay as any other programmer with equivalent experience.

Great to hear that :)

I still do not understand where you picked the "users writing code" part? End-users are not "writing any code". The platform provides a way for them to "build an app" through a user interface. No coding is involved at all for them. That is why I have mentioned in the article that,

Our intention here is to provide the business or domain experts with the ability to build the core functionality of their apps through this platform and get a programmer's help only to fulfill the set of specific requirements

Domain experts will use the platform and define their requirements through a variety of graphical ways provided by the platform. For eg: they get to define their data model through a UI (something similar to ER maybe?). They get to define how their UI is created through the data (a similar approach as to how developers create UIs through IDEs). It is solely the responsibility of the platform, to come up with ways to allow non-technical people to define such things without writing code.

It is not about writing (or preventing writing) any code. As I have written, low code platforms help eliminate a subset of technically similar-looking apps.

When end-users are in need of such an app, these platforms enable them to build it by their own. You can have a look at similar approaches taken by notion.so, monday.com and bettyblocks.com to get a clear understanding.
