I originally read this as "No, code is dead..." and thought here we go. I agree with the sentiment in this, and seems to line up with my experience with friends and colleagues of various persuasions. Certainly for anything React-like and front end heavy, people can scratch itches like never before. I still think it's heavily towards the "throwaway" and relatively small side of this, beyond that I think if you're not already somewhat familiar, you'll hit a brick wall.
- thekoma 1y agoI initially confusingly read it as equivalent to "all code is alive". Perhaps title should be "No-code is dead".
- qsort 1y agoAgreed, the article's perspective is much narrower and I think it makes total sense. Previous no-code tools could work but required total buy-in. On the other hand you can have Claude generate a small throwaway frontend that relies on Web technologies you'd be using anyway. My mental model for this is "Excel++". It has similar strengths (very powerful, users don't need developers to write every last line) and similar weaknesses (easy to make a mess or go down blind alleys if you don't know what you're doing).
