Low and no-code software may soon test the limits of IT hand-holding

IT departments may need to continually intervene to clean up messes, while business users may become hopelessly entangled in managing their software.

They go low, we get high

Anyone who uses the word "coder" to refer to a programmer or "coding" for programming has never understood what programming is in reality. Programming is the art and science of finding a workable, specific solution to a class of problems using the tools available for the computing environment the program will run on. Code is the end result, but the programming is the entire process that goes before even the first line of code is produced. Low code and no code tackle the last, minimal part of the process. If a person cannot abstract a procedure to an algorithm and make a flow-chart out of it there are no amount of no-code or low-code platforms that will do it for them.

I thought that was architecture or engineering, not programming itself.

And even when a person can do it, no- or low-code platforms will probably still not be able to do it.

If you can write a flow-chart, Stateflow will make a program out of it. With some study and the right options it will be quite optimized too. Some low code / no code platforms are powerful. Costly and with a predatory policy that makes casinos and Microsoft look like the International Red Cross, but...
