> With no-code, those at least go away.

Spreadsheets are no-code that works and has been for decades. No-code won’t kill spreadsheets.

Half the time the feature requests I get for the product I manage can be summarized to “like…a spreadsheet”.

I’m convinced that if the entire business world had its way, it would run entirely within an excel spreadsheet.

I've experienced this too, and it's a reason I'm building a reactive programming language. One way to think about it is a headless spreadsheet. https://www.adama-platform.com/

I think this is there the real solution lies to this problem. We don't need another drag-and-drop, we need to change how we think about code. I'm building a "programming" language specifically for UI designers. I think high level DSLs are the future.

I wasn't clear... I meant the hurdles go away. Spreadsheets from 90s versions of office still work just fine, whereas my nodejs app from last year is another story
