Then hopefully the fears of replacing developer jobs are unfounded, and in fact we can expect (hope) for middle management jobs to be replaced instead?

The definition of scarce is rare, or insufficient to meet demand. Not just that supply is low in relation to demand, it means that you physically have trouble getting something.

Photocopy your documents and send them to another location, same threats same resiliance.

Yeah, so does photocopying. The threats you are listing are identical to physical model.

So if a hacker infiltrated your system and silently fed plausable but wrong data into your databases for 10 days, your whole system would be screwed?

At least in the UK this is being looked into by a government review.

Whether that will amount to anything or not remains to be seen, but at least the issue is being taken seriously.

Freak accidents occur everywhere. Helmets save a lot more lives then causee deaths overall.

Seems like fires and floods would also affect servers too.

Pretty sure fire is a risk to servers as well.

Assuming OP is meaning the ISP contract they are in which requires them to use the ISP provided Microtik router.

Using a Xeon for a router just because you want to use linux is a wild choice.

Is this an official definition defined in law?

Everything you have said here is pretty much incorrect. Are you a coder and do you know how native and webapps work? If not I would do some research rather than assuming, because things you are saying about how webapps work are just not true.

We can agree to disagree, thats fine. You give your kids mobiles and tablets from toddler age and I will bring mine up in the physical world and introduce them to tech gently over time, finally giving them full smart devices later in life when they are responsible enough to manage their own time.

If the point was that solid it wouldn't need to make this multi-step analogy.

Analogies are always useful to show logical similarities in somebodies thinking pattern. The fact you dismiss them shows you have no interest in thinking about anything other than your own point. Again thats fine, we can agree to disagree. I wonder if you will show me the same courtesy.

The original reason apps were popular was because they provided access to device apis such as accelerometer and gps which websites didnt. Think the beer drinking app etc.

Since web apis have caught up and allowed the same functionality, the common perception hasnt shifted back as App Stores have perpetually tried to keep attention so that they keep getting their cut of sales. If everyone knew you could do everything in a wepb page that you can in an app, sales would stop flowing and that is a bad thing for Apple/Google.

Most 'native' apps are just electron wrappers around a webpage these days, so how do you know you 'want a native app', just because it has the convenience of being managed through the app store?

I very much hope we continue to bring our children up outside of a digital world, encouraging them to interact and learn physically before introducing them to digital devices later in life when they can treat them sensibly as a small part of a healthy and full life.

Giving addictive and attention stealing tech to children from a young age is like giving drugs to rats, they will continue to hit the feeder bar until they effectively kill themselves.

Phones and social media are a completely new type of pacifying and attention stealing threat which we have only just begun to discover the effects of. This is not your standard 'kids are doomed' rhetoric.

There is a lot more than that. Monitoring things like power generation, fuel, breaking ability, wheel heating sensors, managing door systems, human aspects like reading signals and lights and deciding what to do, all the way down to simple things like horns, wipers, and lights. Its pretty much exactly the same as a car but without a steering wheel and lots of added electrical systems.

Would you say a car is just accelerate, breaking, and steering?

Then you know nothing about trains and the track networks they run on, which is probably why you dont find them interesting. Thats fine, just realise there is much more to trains than accelerate and brake :)

Making money? Seems to be the common success criteria for all.

Yep, and it is terrible for the planet. Avocados use disproportionate amount of water to grow, and the boom of their popularity n the west has caused massive water issues in already resource stretched parts of the world.

All for what, so someone in a western cafe can have some smashed avocado on their sourdough toast? I'm pretty sure people could do without out of season berries, and avocados at all. We used to east locally and seasonally for millennia, forcing over production of anything to ship it round the world is a recipe for disaster.

Yep, thats the attitude thats keeps pushing the machine forward.

For example its the same as flying on planes. Number one worst offenders for C02 is frequent flyers, yet whenever you question anybody on it the argument is always "the planes are flying anyway why does it matter if Im on it or not".

critical things

You miss the whole aspect of production and waste pipelines, which was kind of the point.

Why not go down to your local independent pet store, keep your money local and support your neighbours instead of giving it to directors and shareholders sitting on beaches in French Polynesia?

Such a shame that easily broken and disposable pieces of plastic are shipped around the globe in huge numbers, all in the name of selfish first world comfort.

How future generations will look back at our convenience online ordering practices and be absolutely horrified at how we thought it was no issue to get some bit of plastic made in Asia and shipped over to US or Europe, then next or same day delivered just for for a few dollars/pounds.

Sorry OP, not aiming at you. You just triggered a sad rant.

Never seen that bug before, thats a dozy!

I have experienced and feel very much the same, and it is refreshing to see a realistic post about the success of agentic coding instead of the usual hype or doom.

Nice thought, but I think strict googlewhacking frowned upon quote usage.

Expiring passwords are one of my biggest gripes, and I still see them everywhere

No, you just have to host it there and use a VPN. Like all piracy sites are done right now.

Ohh did you say something a politician or a cop didn't like??? Now they can hunt you down and force you to delete the post or whatever.

Thats not true, as displayed by the recent Afroman case.
