Every useful CRUD app becomes its own special snowflake with time and users.

Now if your CRUD app never gets any users sure it stays generic. But we’ve had low code solutions that solve this problem for decades.

LLMs are good at stuff that probably should have been low code in the first place, but couldn’t be for reasons. That’s useful, but it comes with a ton of trade offs. And these kind of solutions covet a lot less ground than you’d think.

I'm old enough to remember the "OMG low-code is going to take our jeeeerbbs!" panic :D

Like LLMs they took away a _very_ specific segment of software, Zapier, n8n, NodeRED etc. do some things in a way that bespoke apps can't - but they also hit a massive hard wall where you either need to do some really janky shit or just break out Actual Code to get forward.
