Feels weird to read such comments on HN. 10 years ago people were talking that landing rockets is impossible. Then whether they can be reused. Then whether there is any economical gain doing so. As for starlink - they have explosive revenue

I was comparing to the achievements of 60 years ago when they put people on the moon :) They are working towards that in a sustainable manner.

I see low code tools are suitable for power users (citizen developer) and less for programmers (pro developer). Like a farmer hacking together some stuff for their needs instead of waiting for official solution. Power users automate their w
