Question how many prolog software engineers does it take to change a light bulb

Answer = Yes

If anyone has worked with prolog it may make you smile 😀

it's a hardware problem !

Maybe maybe not my lightbulbs around the house do have software updates and some have run out of memory for some features……hardware is not what it used to be 🤔😉

I received a new cycle helmet today - it came with a usb cable to charge it. Does that mean it will help pedal the bike?

(its really for a crash sensor that can send out emergency alerts via a bluetooth connected phone)

what other hardware have you got which now needs power but never used to?

cyberyacht . I also have not heard of those two.

Most early ones were acronyms I think. COBOL COmmon Business Orientation Language, FORTRAN FORmula Translation. Pascal was named after one of the computing pioneers. RPG was report program generator I think.

There are plenty of others.

This is the big problem with programming. You carefully design your product with the exact feature the user requires. They then find a way to screw it up in a totally unexpected way.

True, but half the problem can often be traced back to products/systems being tested by the folks that built them, so operate/use as expected according to their test and operational instructions.

whereas someone not familiar does things very differently

Which is why you never get the designer to write the operating manual!

It was a joke. Kind of.

Seriously though. It doesn't matter how well designed a bit of software is, or how good the manual. Users ALWAYS find a way to break it OR use it in a way not intended.

I agree Karl Gromett. Or as someone at NCR said to me donkeys years ago, you can make a system foolproof you think, but it really depends on the quality of the fool!.

I have to say that the quality of many web developments is that poor compared with what we were turning out years ago. The number of user endless loops you come across, or even options that cover only a tiny subset of customer situations is appalling.

The problem with many web developments is that it is not seen as a profit centre so... Pick 1. Cheap, Fast or Good.
9 times out of 10 the client wants it fast. So tests and design processes have to be minimal or none existent.
