What does disappointment me about this industry is that we haven't found or invented some low-code app builder that is actually good enough for most use cases. I feel like we really should be spending most of our time as logicians who encode business logic, but we spend way too much time churning through supporting technology.
But every app builder I've seen runs into the same problem, that complexity scales exponentially in complexity a way that code doesn't have to. So it quickly becomes better to have built the dang thing from scratch.
And it's not like I can think of anything better. So it feels like we're missing something fundamental, probably to do with how we imagine user interfaces. Hopefully LLMs open the door to something better here eventually, and I'm not at all saying that chat views or plain speech are the best user interfaces we can do.
