I’m seeing this too. I compare it to spreadsheets in terms of getting broad application building tools to the layperson

It is really the second coming of Excel. And it is a good thing (probably?)
Probably net positive. But just like spreadsheets, it’s likely that having tools created by a layperson that does not properly secure or test the system is probably going to occur, cause some unfortunate issues, and steal the headlines. Similar to when an excel formula error results in a flash crash of financial markets and such. It’s huge and sucks but there’s also countless value being added daily all around the world with little fan fare.
