Writing programs in C has simplified developer experience over Assembly. Issue with JS frameworks is that many find them complex, i.e. complexity has not been abstracted away (which should be goal of abstractions). Maybe DOM manipulation has, but many new complex ideas had to be introduced to achieve it.

I wonder if this could go down similar way some SaaS systems went to lower barrier to customisation so less technical users could do it. For example, having to interface with some ServiceNow instances I often find major flaws with db schema design - similar data in multiple places, lack of constraints, etc. Basically one big mess you are now stuck with that could have been avoided if a db expert was in charge of data model design.

Or

  API_KEY = os.environ.get("YOUTUBE_API_KEY")
  CHANNEL_ID = os.environ.get("YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID")

  assert(API_KEY, "Missing YOUTUBE_API_KEY")
  assert(CHANNEL_ID, "Missing CHANNEL_ID")

Would love to explore this in Python. But would it be correct to assume single process service would not be as performant due to GIL?

After some experience, starting to use a new programming language is not such a big challenge. Mastering the new language eco system is. AI might help you generate new code faster, but feel like crunching code has not been so much of an issue. Bigger picture system design, something that scales and is maintainable is the challenge.

Advertising is out of control. Doing mundane things like filling up fuel at a petrol stations, or catching a lift at work - there is a little screen targeting you with ads.

Got introduced to Rufus Sewell in 'The Man in The High Castle'. He played an SS commander. Most intimidating and frightening presence on the screen - without raising his voice and no (direct) acts of violence. Great actor.

Isn't that Svelte?

And not much mention of how you do releases and version control with low-code.

Stuff like MS Power Apps. More traditionally MS Access. Basically drag and drop App builder - UI form builder, connectors to connect to public API-s and even store data.

Point I was trying to make was that low-code is a lock-in IMO, and I would pick Ruby, Django, or whatever any day for no other reason than being able to modify/maintain/own code.

Code is cost. Low-code is getting a vendor to generate code for you (cost again) and putting into a black box you can't access. i.e. lock in.
