David Mikalova@JessTheUnstill @multilinear @cwebber I think low/no code solutions can have noble aspiration - to empower non-technical users to have flexible tools to solve their problems. There's tons of reasons why that's an extremely difficult goal to reach, but even worse vibe coding/AI coding does not do that at all. It does not empower it's users with tools that can be understandable, it just spits out a mess that its users can't understand, and won't be able to maintain.

I'd agree the goal can be noble.
When you get down to it "low code" is just a marketing term meaning "a DSL" or "a configurable tool". Of course those are useful. We all want to do things more easily with less code.
It's the jump to "no code" that seems to really cause problems. Coding with a clicky-button GUI by drawing lines doesn't suddenly make it not coding, and writing text isn't what makes coding hard.
