It is a very relevant point. However, some barriers that stop people from coding are psychological, not practical. There will always be people who will be too afraid of IDEs, version control, and "screwing it up" with coding, even if it's done by prompting the AI. And there will always be people who will prefer to move boxes on the screen. But no code people now have a viable alternative.
A reflection on how modern AI systems like Claude 3.7, GPT-4 Turbo, and Devin are replacing no-code tools — not by simplifying code, but by making code generation accessible through natural language. Explores why no-code reached its limits and how AI quietly made it obsolete.
it's mostly technical and design jargon ... which is what all the cool kids speak anyway ... and no-code is far from reaching it's limits and there will always be people who fucking hate communicating with computers, even if the tool's performance is 90% satisfying enough. and there will always be people who enjoy tinkering themselves ... with their own hands, hotkeys, a mouse and or a stylus ...
Are they trying to imply that natural language is easier than wysiwyg? What in the AI-hype-cycle is this? There’s a time and place for everything, but the idea that wysiwyg or other visual forms of code editing are dead is insanity. I think one of the amazing things about the AI “LLMs will replace everything’s hype is just how bad natural language so often is.
