Full disclosure I haven&#x27;t tried this yet, but just looking at the homepage I can see that this is perhaps the more likely and better solution to be adopted widely by the programming world to help close the skills gap.<p>How do we accelerate learning and more fresh developers to meet demand? A tool like this could be a big part of that answer.<p>One problem I encountered when I enrolled in an online programming bootcamp was a mentorship gap — We had a mentor but they weren&#x27;t always available and after the 3 months of camp was over, it was up to you to just find people on a forum who may help you (likely won&#x27;t, or won&#x27;t know how). A tool like this (if they become advanced and very understandable) could help you out 24&#x2F;7.<p>While a cottage industry of &quot;low-code&quot; &quot;no-code&quot; vendors tries to abstract away a lot of development, I think a tool like Denigma is better in the long run. Low-code will always be limited by its abstractions and constraints (and how its users often won&#x27;t be nurtured to grow and learn to dig in beneath those abstractions).<p>AI itself being the programmer is also a long way off and I don&#x27;t see it getting over the creativity humps it would need to drastically reduce the need for human programmers.
