I find low-code pipelines to be somewhat self-documenting in a way that code often isn't, especially for tools like Zapier, IFTTT, and Make.

They provide a visual pipeline/flowchart that any stakeholder can follow as an outline, even if they can't necessarily understand every node.

That's a lot easier than trying to show them code, even we'll-commented code. AI can help you write code and explain it step by step, but I don't think it's great at making visual flowcharts yet (or is there one out there?) Maybe you can get it to write Mermaid markup, but that's still not as integrated as an actual visual logic editor.

I don't think low-code is going to take over or anything, I just think they're a useful subset of serverless for certain use cases. In event driven pipelines like email or telephony, for example, they're pretty handy!
