The single biggest problem with "citizen developers," is that engineering (as opposed to "coding") requires discipline, and heavy-duty, detail-oriented, follow-through.

That doesn't come in Cracker Jack boxes.

Even if we get to the point where all our code is written by AIs, the requirements will still need to be specified with engineering discipline (so they will look a lot like a coding language).

The ideal concept that CEOs have, of "just make it like I dreamed it" will never happen.

It's a nice thought, but DOA.
