Be a student of software development, learn another language

He worries that Clean Core needs experience and not blind faith

Some nice takeaways also

I love the ones SAP UI 5

I see a lot of CAPM and I can't work out whether it's a cultural thing, like CAP is a reserved word

It does feel like a magic bean economy at the moment

I think the hype has always been there, it used to be grounded by community war stories + practical takeaways you could implement the next day. I miss Sikka, Plattner keynotes - they connected the dots with clear 1, 3, 5 year roadmaps. Now things move too fast, hard to get the signal from noise

Was that where the AI avatar went rogue at the Olympics event?

It’s clear the work is happening, but it feels like the marketing hype may be outpacing the product lifecycle. I am guessing most of it’s still in private beta rather than production-ready mode. Come to our booth and we will show you the slides and a canned demo

I didn't see many "I'm in TEC122, I just learnt something cool" - I saw a lot of engagements on the show floor and club house. The deep dives I see are kind of obsessed with new tools and possibilities and not old problems and outcomes, those days are gone.

The next step is AI as the rendering engine, dynamically generating UI, interactions and workflows on the fly

jQuery helped kill the (Rich Internet Application) RIA era by showing rich web apps didn’t need thick clients or plugins like Flash, Flex, Silverlight, ActiveX, or Applets just smart JavaScript SPA apps. No we going full circle back to pre rendering

It's funny you mention JQuery - SAP built its own browser to control the runtime environment, ensure stable integration with backend systems, and avoid dependency on customers’ inconsistent Internet Explorer setups during the RIA era, when WebDynpro apps needed a heavy, stateful client.

Ask Joule Enterprise Edition (AJEE) or Joule Query

Not a huge leap. SAP had their own synchronous browser that powered NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC), a single entry point to all GUI and web apps. An AI version makes sense.

Give it time they will release their own, Atlassian bought the Browser Company for $610M to own the users workflow across all their apps. Every vendor will want this, its both a moat and a way to upsell more products, features and services

They not appeasing the community here, it's an AI play, file based editing

I didn't get why it had to be an install and the very visible license kind of scared me off anyway

I love Dev Containers they solve Node & Java dependency issues by isolating environments. I use Docker volumes to persist caches across devcontainers & cache mounts during builds to speed installs. Plus, control formatting, dotfiles, VS Code settings, extensions, & more!
