No-code hype train

Sigh.

> No-code technologies are rapidly changing the way we approach software development, making it possible for people with little to no programming experience to create functional and useful websites and applications in a matter of days or weeks.

So in other words, it's not software development, it's making useful things without writing code, and that's fine. Just like writing in a higher level language vs. writing assembly is also fine. But they are not the same, and they also don't have the same properties.

It's the 90's all over again.

Bioinformatic pipelines. You could have mentioned that once. Nocode is the perfect nexus between biologists who know the important research questions to ask, and the informaticians who know how to build the pipelines and write the software to process the data.

With nocode, the biologists can build their own pipelines, and the informaticians can focus more on developing novel code.

Low/No Code used to be called CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) or 4GL.

No-code isn't new!

I used WYSIWYG no-code tools like Dreamweaver in the early noughts to build websites, and companies like Salesforce (disclaimer: my employer) have been using no-code as a selling point for well over a decade.

I agree with the other commenter: ChatGPT content =p

In keeping with the spirit of no-code, this article appears to have been written by ChatGPT...

Apart from the mention of some no-code frameworks it is pretty much content-free.
