>>> I find it interesting that coders seemingly are fascinated by no-code tools.

I think it would be mostly management who would be interested in no code tools. I understand, the allure of not needing a coder, anyone can create an application etc.

In my experience it is not really management but more various stakeholders and product developers who just want to implement ideas without having to ask for dev time and then wait for the project to be prioritized and hopefully eventually implemented. They do not like the dev team as bottle neck and gatekeeper.

But what that basically means that everyone becomes a developer which often ends up in s huge mess. Using no code tools is not much different from writing code. And letting a bunch of unskilled devs loose on your code base is generally stupid.

I'm management and the primary developer. (We've got a super small tech team.) I look forward to no-code tools so I can get designers and others tackling less complex problems/projects that would otherwise take up my development time. The hope is that I'd be able to focus on more challenging things, much like how open source relieves developers from building yet another [insert here].
