I don't know why people like to blast low code developement on HN in general. The US and worldwide software development market is big enough to support both full software engineers and low code developers. Each has its own place in the enterprise.
As somebody who has worked a lot in the low code development area for almost a decade, these tools give a lot of capabilities to non-engineers. I usually see low code software development being used in the government sector where it is used by epidimiologists to track disease spread during covid, policy analysts and even environmental engineers to track pollution and build dashboards based on that data.
If not for these low code tools, that money would have been spent by the goverment on expensive consulting engagements to IBM, Deloitte and other government software vendors who charge $400/hr just to gather business requirements.
