re: rants on lowcode/nocode
@DoodleDonut what I don't get about it is that making simple crud apps is already very efficient given the right tooling since it can be mostly generated, and then you have a solid base you can build off of

@DoodleDonut the "value" is that managers understand it /snark
re: rants on lowcode/nocode
@noiob That too, for larger corps especially. For my company it really is a "more people can contribute" kind of thing. Part of me feels like I should be worried, but knowing how much complexity I have to manage in my actual code projects, and how impossible it would be to do in a lowcode platform, I'm not that worried.
re: rants on lowcode/nocode
@DoodleDonut yeah no I also feel like software engineers will be in demand for a long time
re: rants on lowcode/nocode
@noiob Absolutely agree. I could design from the ground up any of the low-code projects I've been tasked to work on (my job is backend dev but we've been using a lowcode platform for some other stuff), and it would not be difficult.
The "value" they bring is that other non-devs can contribute, which, to be fair, is value. But, as a developer, I hate it. I feel like I'm forced to make things out of mega-blocks when I could be designing them out of lego.
