I would rather that they easily build products and succeed, to then realise that they might have to refactor a lot of things. I would consider that a great problem to have.

It's a better problem than never having built anything, I agree. But being the one who's come in to clients that need to either rebuild their whole tech stack or go out of business; I can't call that a "great" problem ;) always a tough conversation.

I think implementing such solutions allows them to outsource the management of certain workflows to non-developers. You aren't always responsible to add features, debug, etc.

Sometimes this works... what I've often experienced is the non-developers don't want to be technical enough to even use the "simpler" tool provided to them, and just make me do it (again, I'll stick by my claim that "syntax isn't the hard part")


I'm glad people are finding success and I do hope no/low code can grow into a useful thing for all; but for me it's not there yet (but it totally could be with a few changes).
