My low-code horror story contribution. Big Important Company decided to develop some in-house learning courses for their Marketing and Sales folks. They used a trendy-for-the-time low-code learning course creation software package to develop the courses, and a different piece of software to deliver it to staff on their on-site intranet. A few years go by. Someone in Big Important Company decides the courses need updating. Work ends on my desk as my bosses have the contract to maintain various other bits of BIC's creaking self-hosted intranet. I ask questions like "What software did BIC use to develop the courses?", and "can we charge BIC the cost of getting the software so I can do the work?" Of course, the answers are all along the lines of: no. So all I have to work with is an extensive set of hefty change requirements to the courses, and a SCORM package downloaded from BIC's intranet. A huge amount of learning (how to manually edit SCORM packages) and frustration (how to test changes to SCORM packages), and a few months of time when I could've been doing something better without deadlines harassment ... I completed the work. Which I wasn't allowed to test on BIC's intranet servers for "security". So I just uploaded the new SCORM package to their production servers and went on 2 weeks leave.
