As someone who writes code for a living, I have to admit I'm intrigued by "low code" software development tool. Or at least tools that use less code that traditional software development.
I don't see writing code as being the main value I deliver. Instead, I see that value as being the ability to take high level and often vague business requirements and turn them into something a computer can execute.
Sometimes, I'll use tools like Node RED and Unreal Blueprints and can see the value their kind of approach would bring to application development. I write code where I need code, but can define data flow through the application visually by connecting components together. I find that this helps me understand at a glance an applications inputs, data flow, and outputs. I'm not sure how well this would actually scale, though. It's not like this approach hasn't been tried over and over for the past few decades.

I'm not sure either, but i remember reading about hospital management software for the middle east implemented using low-code. So maybe, the current software ecosystem, which is brilliant for innovation, finally found the trick ?
