I think this is the winning feature. The issue with Low-code/No-code, as many engineers acknowledge, is that they tend to be utilized for tasks better suited for coding. Companies are attracted to the notion that designers, PMs, or others can independently create tools and conserve engineering resources. However, these tools often exceed the capabilities of LC/NC, resulting in an unmanageable complexity. In reality, code proves effective for constructing large, intricate systems — or at least has a fighting chance where LC/NC falls short. Anyways, all of this is to say that code as a first-class citizen + source control is a big win here.

Thanks - this was one of the main inspirations for building Strada! We had many conversations with integration developers and when we asked to see their workflows, we saw a lot of complexity in their low-code platforms that could have been made simpler with a more code-first approach.

One particular conversation that stood out was a developer that had to chain 6 layers of low-code blocks, just to flatten a JSON response. In this case he wished that he could write a simple recursive function to solve the same task.
