Amazon's Honeycode No-Code App Builder Is No-More - Slashdot
#1 NoCode tool is and will continue to be Excel. That's where lawyers, brokers, mathematicians and business analysts who didn't learn to code write their domain data types, complex data flows and moderately complex queries, without the need for a caste of priests programmers gatekeeping the knowledge of the sacred code and building their tools for them.
The main problem with NoCode is that developers utterly misunderstand what end users need to build digital tools (call them 'apps' if you will), so they keep writing NoCode tools as glorified webforms that still depend on a full-code backend, instead of improving Excel-like environments with all the tools and utilities that developers use for writing robust code (version control, tests, refactoring, automated data persistence, advanced debugging with breakpoint and variable inspectors...), so the apps that end users create become fragile and unmaintainable.
I have high hopes on reactive notepads, they may be the nocode tool that finally closes the gap as the perfect development environment for non-programmers.
