Any truly capable no code development environment will (d)evolve into a shitty visual programming language without the tooling you expect from a modern language

  I wonder if it being "visual" makes business owners more likely to look at the logic and realize "wow, this is a mess, let's simplify this". Whereas, complicated logic in code is seen as "just a bunch of code" and non-coders will never look at it or attempt to understand it. I store my candy in the basement, it's a life-hack to help me control myself. Maybe businesses would also benefit from the "hack" of requiring business logic to be visually represented, and thus force themselves to keep things simple. I have this fantasy where the project owner runs the code though a tool which faithfully translates it to a visual language, and then promptly gives me a large severance. On my way out he asks me what the incomprehensible tangle on his screen is, and I laugh on my way out the door.
