Can someone tell me how this stuff is any different from the 90's let's use UML for code gen and how it's not going to fail in the same way?

In my experience, spec drift is the main reason why none of these tools work. Maybe they work for one shot greenfield feature generation but in a large, multi developer long lived code bases, specs rot and end up being more pain than they are worth.

What is low code anyway in 2024?

For example, is AWS Amplify or Firebase low code?

Exactly. Came here to say the same thing. I live in zone 2 and I'd say that majority of the households don't own a car because they don't need one. We only got a car after we had kids and used to Uber around when we needed a car, a lot cheaper than full time car ownership.

Can someone tell me what's the advantage of eBPF over a user mode driver? The article makes it look it eBPF is have your cake and eat it too solution which is too good to be true? Can you run graphics drivers in eBPF for example?
