"How do we eat the elephant? One bite at a time." Professor Dave Roberts, on how to solve a big problem
Recently I've read articles containing interviews with high level Microsoft personnel that made me cringe.
The first interview was with Robert Wahbe (VP of Microsoft's connected systems division) and Brian Harry (technical fellow). Wahbe discusses how Microsoft wants to create modeling tools that can create models that turn into executable code. He asserts that "there's no reason to separate identity, policy, security, and deployment information from the model". Harry posits that in the near future we'll have modeling tools that "...can take an application you've never worked on before, take a modeling tool to parse that application and show you a model of it, make changes, and make sure it validates against the design".
