I like it, even though I never use it.<p>I write complex distributed applications, but wish my life would be easier. I don't care about having my job forever nor fear innovation. Anyhow, I think it might take a while until low code or no code becomes a thing on what I do, but I deeply believe in a future that doctors, engineers and everybody will use those tools to build amazing things, or cure really hard diseases, or whatever people might invent.<p>I think we are living in an awesome time and I love to hear about it, how clever some low code or no code are, and how it empowers people.
The term? Yeah, I think it works well. The concept? You always end up really restricted and if you want to get some serious work done, you usually end up needing a real platform (in my experience).
I like it. Does what it says on the tin. It might get diluted though (how low is low?).<p>For example AWS Lambda is low-code in a way. You only need to write the code for the function, not the server or scaling. But that might not be low enough.<p>Excel is low code, but that's old. Does low code mean newfangled?<p>I think it could be confusing what is low code and what is not.
I find "low code" much more palatable than “digital transformation”, but I still wish the concept had a better name and clearer borders (e.g do most people consider Excel low code?).<p>I don't have a better name to offer, so I have no major gripes with low code.
It depends. I would call Splunk and Tableau low code. I think they did a good job. I think many other products tend to screw it up.<p>So I don't think I have any opinion on "low code", but would evaluate the product on a case by case basis.
A term is a term. We've lived with worse, like "master-slave" and "male/female connector". As long as it's clear what it does and isn't vague like "dependency injection".
I had to duck-duck-go it to figure out what it means. After reading the first description I kept thinking on things like Wordpress blogs or Delphi or Excel. Does any of these qualify as low code?
