I wish we had No-business solutions. Like you only have to write code and the business side of things is being solved for you by a script, just watch money flow

  Closest things would be developing ransomware, defi contracts, and algo trading.

    Also drugs, software exploits, anything that sells itself really.

    No experience with ransomware, but from reading on HN it seems they have to have substantial "customer" support teams to help victims actually buy the bitcoins and stuff.

  I know this is tongue in cheek, but it's actually an interesting frame. "No business" software startups are kind of possible. If the software/product is useful, important, unique or cheap enough the business side would be trivial. An iphone equivalent for $50 doesn't need any marketing. A script that automatically optimizes any and every AWS setup to save money. A consistently profitable algorithm trading. Sales will be trivial, fundraising, etc. In reality though, it's very hard to be that good on one axis. In a competitive game, you usually you need to perform across multiple areas. Great product and decent marketing. Great marketing & decent sales. etc. This applies to Low/No code setups too. Maybe you can build twitter, airbnb or Tinder using Bubble. But, that'll mean that your product is very unlikely to be as good as those built using a more powerful toolset. The software itself can't be your competitive edge. People have been competing with Amazon, without code, since viaweb. You're just never going to launch aws.
