I just won a large contract to maintain a legacy bit of code and bring it up to scratch. Our client's effort to migrate away to no-code/low-code never got off the ground. The party that was supposed to do it lacked the tools and know-how to make the switch.

I donnow, but if you're a manager that's dreaming getting rid of expensive developers, my impression so far is that all you're doing is replacing developers with less competent and more expensive "consultants" that need to build solutions with one hand tied behind their backs.

No-code/low-code is useful for shopping lists but complexity skyrockets as soon as you try to step out of its comfort zone.

I'll probably end up eating my words, but so far I'm not worried about no-code/low-code in 2023.

Worried? Is that the right mindset when looking at technological innovation?

[diceduckmonk]

That’s an uncharitable take on OP’s comment.

I read it as meaning No Code is not going to replace developers any time soon.

I say this as someone who is building a LCNC product.

It is if the technology threatens to automate your job.

Oh how I would love to see my job automated away. :)
