While I understand and recognize the frustration with programming today, I wonder if comments like these have any sort of factual basis to them. What exactly is over-complicated for no useful reason? And what are the ways to fix this? I haven't looked at every "coding for non-coders" app, but all I've seen fail in offering the same functionality as coding in itself does. How would the ideal way to programm look like where you have the same freedoms you have with todays languages, tools, frameworks, etc. while still being easy and intuitive to use?

Remember that for all the time spent trying to figure out these philosophical conundrums in our trade tech debt is still piling up and someone else is out there writing actual code/working... these are nice things to think about but don’t get hung up on them. Lots of this is subjective stuff that has no answer and the code isn’t going to write itself (not yet).
