Agree with this post. Low-code lets a non-engineer build 80% of an app quickly, but then ultimately that last 20% requires engineering work and it ends up taking more total eng/IT time to create something far less maintainable and useful.
I think the best low-code platforms are ones that are ultimately built on top of code (eg Webflow, where the underlying representation is normal HTML/CSS/JS). I wrote a blog post about how I think low-code platforms are broken and how they could be fixed: https://www.airplane.dev/blog/how-to-fix-low-code-with-more-code https://www.airplane.dev/blog/how-to-fix-low-code-with-more-...
- weego 4y agoI would like to see a general acceptance from people that the thing they think they need can really just be described in a more generic and less "we have unique needs" way, which is often a good chunk of the missing 20%. But that's a lost cause until there's a meteoric shift in our industry towards standards and modularity, which either will never happen or won't happen in the lifetimes of the current generations.
