In 2023 No-Code is an Entrepreneurs secret weapon. See my Blog Post - What is No-Code, Why use No-Code? https://www.onedb.online/blog/what_is_no_code_why_use_

  The big lie about "No-code" systems like this is -- you're still coding, but without text. you have to click around in some obscure, usually proprietary interface to create every object and define its interactions with every other object. You end up with a big (usually binary) construct that doesn't lend itself to revision control or reuse, and building it requires a ton of knowledge about the toolset. The only people attracted to these systems are people who 1) want to create software and 2) want to avoid learning how to create software those two attributes describe the absolute worst software developers. Learning a programming language is only marginally more effort then learning to use these tools, but grants an infinite amount of utility and flexibility

    Absolutely. And, this idea is not at all new. Here's an example from the early 90s of a similar thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlaer–Mellor_method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlaer–Mellor_method. It was tried on projects, then failed to deliver. Some people at the time asked Qs like "How would one debug the code that has been generated from UML models?" and were waved aside. EDIT - its the automatic generation of code from that methodology that I particularly took issue with, although, not a big fan either of tons of custom UML-like diagrams
