> Low/no code drag-and-drop style programming tools would take away many dev jobs this is still something some of us think about today

  We keep on chasing and chasing. I think the closest we’ve come so far is excel and most in programming scorn it instead of revering it.

    IKR. Excel and the other spreadsheet variants are the gateway drug to software development. There is no other tool that has such a low entry to barrier and is so enticing to scale up into a ridiculously complex product. It eventually does get to a point that when the original user/developer is ready to change their job someone says 'OK can we turn this into a webapp or something... this is nuts. Lets hire someone from guru.com to do this.'
