Lets first understand, what even is No-Code or Low-Code?
No-Code is made for people in every background to create stuff/software. No code platforms have pre-built drag-and-drop elements that have been coded for reuse and scale, so that anyone, even beginners can make anything they want easily.
Will No/Low Code replace programmers?
No Not at all, we will surely need programmers... There will always be a need for coding. They benefited in there both alternatives.
So does No/Low Code does have any future?
Yes No/Low Code do have a future but they are not the future of code. It is certainly having a place in the future and will be leveraged to make many applications For ANYONE. The future is low-code or no-code with an expected growth rate of 44.4% by 2022 to $27.23 billion (up from $4.32 billion in 2017).
Why No/Low Code so famous?
No/Low Code is popular because it doesnt matter on what background you come from, you can make softwares. Making software in nocode platforms can be fast and done pretty regularly to build prototypes and MVP in a record time.
Thats all for this blog, its a pretty small blog, but its just a start for me :)

No, because who will maintain the no-code-environment? Developers, that's who. Also, as no-code applications become increasingly complex, you need code again to deal with the complexity. Who will write it? Developers again. Lastly, there were multiple attempts to replace writing program code with other things. Needless to say none of them worked well.
yeah I agree with that... also thats what I was trying to explain in the blog
I would agree that no-code will not entirely replace developers. However, the total overall need for developers will significantly decrease. Only the best of the best developers will still have a job to maintain the no-code software itself and any supporting needs. Most developers as we know them today are expected to lose their jobs once no-code becomes more prominent.
No i would not agree on that, no code can not handle specific niche things for what you still need even the worst developers because you still need to write code for that :D
Yes, I do agree with that. But you can't possibly disagree that no-code is meant to reduce the number of developers an organization needs? If companies needed the same developer's pre and post adoption of no-code tools, why would they adopt them?
No-Code will never replace any Dev.
If the Toolset the Company uses/needs can be done with no-code, they never needed an Dev in the first place.
"Only the best of the best developers will still have a job to maintain the no-code software itself and any supporting needs."
Lol...
No Code tools fill the same niche that Excel has filled for years and, just like Excel, when the No Code solution finally falls over, guess who they're going to hire to create a real solution... that's right, real developers.
I agree. In my first job in the late 90s I was called in to rebuild a global sales forecasting system for a large corporation. People in regional offices reported that they would click the button to save their data right before going to lunch. On a good day, the data would have been successfully saved by the time they got back. On a bad day, it would take longer.
What technology powered this business-critical system? Microsoft Access.
No-code restricts yourself to create applications with less logic, so it's not even to close to being an alternative. By the way, to add more features to no code you need a dev for that
Your having a very reductive view of what a developer is. Nowadays is much more than just coding. You have all source control tasks, pipeline management, code review, etc.
Many devs just migrated to DevOps that have much more responsibilities than a simple developer.
its a pretty small blog duh, not explaining the whole dev thing, just a part of it
When i see the big Tech Companies(MAANG😂) where their main plateform is not build on top of that . There is no problem . Low code / no code if for some problem not the big ones coming with AI , VR and others . You have a Platform with MORE than 2 millions users and you are going to build that with these tools ?
I do not think so , so no fear 🤧
Exactly, no code can't replace developers. But demands for developers will dramatically decrease.
Wish I could dislike this. Don't get me wrong, I get you're at the beginning, and kudos for starting to blog. But you need to provide enough value for your readers. And it doesn't take much as we don't pay for this, but we do expend time. I lost my time reading your blog and didn't get any value in return. The blog is shallow and riddled with gramatical errors that are distracting. This is your cue to do better on the next one. You nailed the title. Read this short how to and follow the structure and strive to be better open.ac.uk/blogs/scilab/index.php/...
I would say low/no code would enable more people to be a 'developer'. Which is needed so other developers can solve problems with high code.
My thoughts is that there won't be any replacing but the two will live together. I'm impressed with what people can achieve with no-code tools but I'm also impressed with what people achieve with code.
There is room for both.
It says on your Twitter that you're only 13. If that's true. Kudos to you for putting yourself out there.
yeah thats true, thanks
