If someone can build a low/no-code product, then the barrier to entry is so astonishingly low and there will be a ton of competition for that product. Another consideration is that these low/no-code products almost always cost money.
So not only will the market be flooded with clones, rent-seeking from the provider will eat into margins.
Much like the cloud is someone else's computer; SaaS is someone else's programmer.

- odyssey7 5y agoThe “someone else’s programmer” metaphor isn’t totally accurate, because of a key difference between cloud vendors and no/low-code vendors. To support more customers, a cloud vendor needs to have linearly more computers. A no/low-code vendor, on the other hand, does not need to have linearly more programmers.
