>> The moment that they need to scale, they become a liability, like... Yeah, but this is true of just about any home-grown solution, whether they are "low code" or not. There are surely a lot of VB and PHP ("high code"?) applications that were quickly thrown together to solve what was at the beginning a small problem. The reason they're not best practices is usually because there's no IT support or money to build it, so someone (often self-learned) finds a way to build it themselves. You can complain about having to rewrite it once it became a mission-critical app, but more often than not, that app would have never been written by a seasoned developer because the original user(s) of the tool couldn't justify the resources to build it at the time.
