As a programmer, I am hoping the low-code future comes true.

Many of the comments here seem critical (and rightly so). It is naturally to be critical as the no-code/low-code approach overpromised before, and its hypothetical success (if ever) will threaten the job security of the many in the HN crowd.

However, the existence of low-code tools means that coders can focus more on the complex problems and/or work with these tools on a higher abstraction plane. This sounds like a win to me, and this is how many technical fields advance -- increasing productivity by automating and abstracting away the lower-level tasks.

There is nothing that prevents a programmer from using a low-code tool. Maybe though a DSL API?
