I wrote this on another thread a few months ago: I think the basic reason why low-code / no-code works is down to software bugs and long-tail maintenance. Bugs are a function of number of engineers, features, moving parts, and significant lines of code. No-code takes out engineers, moving parts, and SLoC from the equation (as far as the enterprises buying these solutions are concerned), but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of feature set; low-code brings down number of engineers, and SLoC, whilst providing flexibility in terms of bespoke feature sets. Also, in essence, No-code and Low-code are a natural extension of the cloud computing model in which capex is traded away for opex. And economies of scale, over time ensures Low-code / No-code will be cheaper yet more reliable than anything one (tech-enabled) enterprise can roll on their own. While at some level it is also an indication of 'software is eating the world' phenomena (both in terms of available capital given software economics, and rise in popularity of CS, in general). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27074657 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27074657
