It sounds like your career is software engineering, if so... > My personal feeling is that any no-code tool should be useful enough that I would use it. Someone who's a software engineer is not the litmus test. These tools, from what I've seen so far, are NOT for software engineers. So you wouldn't need to use them. Instead, from what I've seen so far, these tools are primarily for those folks who: - Cannot write software
- Do not want to learn how to write software (gasp!) But DO want to put their (software) ideas out in the world, have control over them, without: - Spending the money to hire a software engineer
- Partner with a software engineer |
I also believe that if a coding tool will make me more productive, I'll use it, even if it's not a library or a language. Right now the visual tools are limited, but it doesn't have to be that way.
I've used Flash, Windows WPF apps, those visual tools for making apps in xCode, and others. I think there's something to having visual tools for building apps. I think it's clear that UI doesn't need to be in code. Maybe state machine logic shouldn't be written in code either. Maybe high-level software architecture constraints shouldn't be in code.
