The problem with programmers' perception of low-code tools is that it's dominated by tools and promises that didn't deliver. But low code is here, and it's here right now. Wordpress, Squarespace, and Wix make personal websites and portfolios easy. Google Forms let you intake data and process it easily; it's perfect for (event/organization) registration, surveys, mailing lists, and more. Then there's Doodles to help folks agree on scheduling. Google Forms and Doodles are already used ubiquitously outside of IT. Let's not forget Excel and Google Sheets, the low-code tools that make the world go 'round. Note that this has nothing to do with the number of programmers. Other industries and regular folks using tech more says nothing about the number of software specialists needed in the future. The demand for software specialists is likely to increase.
