  Not sure I’m liking this turn of events. Sounds like a recipe for fragile stuff and walled gardens. I don’t think you can safely paper over the lessons devs learn by failing. The other thing I’ve notice is that non-devs tend to build in production. No version control no testing. Just straight into prod

  Microsoft already owns the most successful no-code/low code platform in history: Excel Millions of people with no coding experience are able to successfully use Excel to solve their problems, from personal budgets all the way to large stock trades. The other successful no-code/low code software Microsoft has made was Visual Basic. In my opinion, there is no current solution to making applications that is as easy as Visual Basic 6.0. You could literally drag and drop a CRUD application connected to a database with no code. Whoever can make the equivalent of Excel and Visual Basic for the cloud/web will dominate the market.
