> <i>"A better approach would be to automate the generation of boilerplate code."</i><p>I'm yet to encounter a good example of <i>generated boiler-plate</i>. Every tool that spews out generated code is annoying to work with and you end up having to delete a bunch of files that don't apply.<p>Better frameworks encapsulate code-generation in a function calls and better abstractions.
No code, or low-code, are terms straight out of marketing departments by this generation's ignorance of software history.<p>The earliest form of this trend that I can remember was Macromedia Authorware. Drag-n-drop flowchart style of development with optional coding features.
