That's what is promised under the term "no code" or "low code", but it's not how it actually works. Low code and no code already exist and they are already successful where they work. For instance, you can now create a website using wordpress with quite a bit of functionality without coding at all. That _is_ "no code". And you can use Excel to create quite complicated logic and calculations with very little coding. And that _is_ "low code". Even using an IDE and a high-level programming language is in some sense "low code". Pretty much every other usage of this term by startups or others is purely marketing and promising something it can't do. I wish it were different because then I could build things even faster with less effort, but from what I can see and what the last decade shows, progress towards this goal is made in different ways. > Let’s be honest; in most situations, cloning an existing successful business is a pretty easy, well defined task. That’s why you get things like “here’s my free clone of strava” or whatever. > Once the problem is solved, building it is easy. Yeah, but the mistake is to assume that solving the problem doesn't require technical folks. Even if something is not technically difficult, it still requires a lot of work and skills to translate vague thoughts in human language into computer-executable logic that behaves as one wants. This will be solved once we have some intelligent machine that can do that. Once we have that, the world will turn upside down.
