Every VC in the world right now is betting on this becoming a thing... problem is that No Code/ Low Code as a product doesn't actually solve the problem that they are trying to solve.

The overarching concept of No Code/ Low Code is that "code" is the hard part of building software, ergo if we can make it so "normal" people don't have to code the problem is solved. Of course we all know that code isn't the hard part of the job- if code was the issue software developers would all be using No Code/ Low Code solutions already (as it's been pointed out, they've been around forever).

No Code/ Low Code is about selling accessibility to the wantrepreneur crowd... the same people that have an "app idea" that they want you to build. It's a huge market, but it isn't going to have an impact on software development any more than model rockets would have on the aerospace industry.

If the No Code/ Low Code tools were any good software developers would already be using them.

(When I am talking about No Code/ Low code, I am not talking about things like Webflow / Dreamweaver NOT solutions like Serverless.)
