I find it fascinating that the no code idea keeps coming up. As every developer can attest, most managers, business analysts et al, have no clue of what they actually want, let alone on how to implement it.
That's not even counting technical challenges, architecture, complex networks, redundancy etc. Ironically I think the back end would be even harder with a no code solution.
In reality what I predict is that languages will become a little bit more "loose", lazy typing, argument defaults will become the norm. I also think that the IDE quick lists will be more aggressive in their input, almost like a helper library, where you can say bubble sort and it will setup the code to do it.
Human flaws aside, from a corporate stand point lock in can be bad, and all no/low code solution lock you in. This industry tends to go circular in terms of technology adoption. It sounds good, find out that it's expensive and can't control your own product and you opt out.

Beginners are annoyed at the rigorousness of programming languages, but the rigorousness is there as a helper for correctness.
- runawaybottle 5y agoI don’t find the idea that fraudulent at all. In all seriousness, who wants to scaffold a dumb (not pejoratively), but an actual low effort rest api via code? Aren’t we all over that at this point? And who wants to set up the React or Angular form that’s going to hit this literal dumb api? I’m kind of over it, I’d very much like to drag arrows around lol.

- cyanydeez 5y agook but they all have ideas and they are closer to the money, so of course they want to sell the idea of no code (which likely means theyll just farm out actual code to india) i see as an attempt by a small co tigent of coders to sell some tranches of a SaaS as cheap as possible.
