Custom software development could learn a lot from the "visual programming" part of low-code development.

I find it odd that we design and understand our software as diagrams on whiteboards, and then we just maintain this big ball of text.

Everyone thinks they are writing clean code, but most projects require huge amounts of time spent poking at it to figure out what the actual core business logic is.

I think the future of programming is two-way sync between visual and code, where every piece of code is visualized in a graph. I want to open a project and see the function call graph, live annotated values from different code paths, and a data dependency graph of how every value in the system responds to events and user interactions.
