Hello fellow devs! ?? I hope you are doing well!

I'm sure you have come across no-code and low-code solutions before. It is by no means a new concept.

For those unfamiliar, low-code is described as a "tool" that enables developers of all skill levels to rapidly design and develop applications, while keeping code to a minimum. Such app development is typically accomplished by dragging and dropping visual blocks of code into a workflow.

No-code solutions also feature drag-and-drop and visual development, but unlike low-code, they cater to business people or others in IT who may not be familiar with programming languages but still want to develop an application for a specific use case. In other words, no-code solutions allow organizations to equip their teams with the necessary tools to create applications without any formal development training.

As you can see there's a subtle difference between the two. Now, let us ponder on this topic a little more, shall we? ?

Here are some questions to help you craft your comment:

• What do you think of no-code/low-code solutions?
• Do you think they will take our jobs? Why or why not?
• What do you think are advantages and disadvantages of no-code/low-code?
• Does no-code/low-code have a future? Or is it just a passing fad?

Drop your comments below, I love to read them all! ?

See you in the comment section! ??

P.S.: Try to stay on topic and don't nitpick too much on the wording or title. Thanks in advance ?
