No-code is going to be used in production for sure. It's not something only for sandboxing and prototypes.

My point is that the conversation about such tools is derailed by HN programmers who automatically jump to the conclusion that these products are the wet dreams of non-technical CEOs, who will force their org to go no-code exclusively.

If no-code tools are used in production, that implies that it will have to pass QA and code review, just like anything else.

Completely agree with the sentiment.

But the definitions for both "production" and "application" are not so black and white. Take a super simple no-code app like a Google form survey. Some people would argue that that is not an app, others would say it is. Is it production? If I send that around to my team of 10 people, there will be no code review or QA. If I send it to 200 customers, then of course I let someone else review it.
