You realise that GP's "real developer" wasn't a challenge to your pride, yes? It wasn't to denigrate you or your skills, just to give context for the remainder of their own post about their own experiences — as an experienced developer using tools that may not necessarily be aimed at experienced developers.

By the context it's clearly in response to others giving OP flak. That's why he put "real developer" in quotes, as a dig at anyone who might presume a "real developer" would have no use for this kind of solution.

To make much more explicit the differentiation between traditional developers, using programming languages, and the sorts of people at which things like PowerApps, Google App Maker, or this AirTable are aimed — usually more database-y, business/data analyst types.

(Not to say developers don't use them as well, of course they do.)
