I was going to post this same quote as the only bit of substance from the article. There are many situations where a non-engineer with some programming experience can very quickly string together a few "no-code" tools to build a workflow/tool that scratches 90-100% of their itch. "Some programming experience" meaning: they understand basic IFTTT logic and can configure API access using a tutorial. The piping of programs is now done by sync integrations built into the tools, third-party tools like Zapier, or other services that can map and standardize API output.
