> If your managers could specify what they need in a manner that no-code tools, or now AI, can generate the code they want, they will have to be extremely exact in their language. So exact in fact that they will need to specify a program in a click and drag interface, or in human language.
One day a corporate genie appeared to a middle manager and granted him one wish. The manager wished that their business logic could be edited by a graphical tool and that programmers were no longer needed. "Granted", poof!
The next day the manager came to work, all the programmers were gone, fired by upper management. The manager sat down and opened the new graphical tool that had magically appeared on his computer. The interface was beautiful, except for what appeared to be a hairball drawn in the middle of the screen. The manager asked his manager about the hairball, "oh, that's our business logic, you have to zoom in to see the individual rules". The manager zoomed in and surveyed 180,000 business rules, intertwined in a complete graph.
"How am I suppose to work with this?" the manager asked his manager. "You just click and move them around, it's easy", replied the upper manager. "Also, I've been meaning to ask, when do you think those new business rules we talked about last week will be implemented? We need them by Friday."
