      Low code and no code environments are often made fun of on this site. I've actually used a low-code environment and yes, developers should be concerned. Adapt or die. They are incredibly powerful and not hard to learn. But, somebody still has to write the low-code environments. That will always exist. But at some point the job of "programmer" will be flooded in the market and salaries will begin to drop. Unless you specialize in something that can't be moved to low-code. This is one reason I'm building a farm. :thumbsup::cool: [Edit]Only a few responses in and my point is already proven. [/Edit] :doh:

          The "duhvelopers" who're at risk from those things are the ones asking the facepalmingly stupid questions on QA and SO. Perhaps if their jobs are deleted, we won't have to keep deleting their doomed cries for help.

            Highly-skilled developers/architects will always be in demand. Unskilled developers should not be allowed anywhere near a keyboard.

                These questions existed before MS Access made the promise. The question is over twenty years old. We heard about the semantical web and seen it fail. I'm thinking about stopping with programming. I think I may be happier shoveling muck and leave the programming part for those that learned C# in two weeks. As the one who crippled "Exceptional Magic" by putting out a free version; the one that caused a 14k euro bug and unpaid overtime for three people. Yup, I'm quitting programming.

                    Not true at all. There is no reason most businesses can't run on low code environments today for the bulk of their apps.

                        No, it won't. The bigger issue at hand is the world is pushing STEM and technology on EVERYONE, and the majority of people that try it, fail, and fail miserably. They are unable to grok it, let alone implement it for a living. So, now they are trying to come up with technologies where the masses can do technology, without technology. This will fail and fail big time. Our jobs are not in jeopardy. Don't feed the job monster. Everyone is going to be alright. Also, pushing the need for the entire world to be proficient at technology is un-realistic, and 100% politically motivated on every level.

                          I remember when everyone was going to get rich raising Chinchillas. Or selling someone else's stuff (e.g. web templates).

                            Ok with great skepticism, I tried it. i put on my small business technophobe hat and set out to recreate the web app I have running in the debugger right now. Nope. I got confused from the get go. Try as they might they will NEVER replace the programmer.

                                    I saw a documentation about a developer who ran off to become a bush pilot in Africa. I would try that before shoveling muck.

                                    I been in a plane, and still can't believe being in an aluminum tin can going at that speed. And, where's muck, there's brass.

                                      Real men fly helicopters. Much more fun to fly and lots of useful capabilities when you are in an area without much infrastructure, like runways. If those things would not cost so much to operate...

                                      I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                                          Nice... we might have a new provider for bacon wohooo:jig:

                                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
