The assumption with low-code tooling was that AI is so good at writing actual code in a way that it will make low-code tools redundant. Spending time with Windsurf, Cursor, and a bunch of VSCode extensions, while it was so impressive to see new projects being created autonomously, asking for new requirements or fixing bugs after >10 iterations was more complex.

I had to audit the code and give specific directions on how to restructure the code to avoid getting stuck when the project gets more complex. That makes me think autonomous agents will do much better on low-code tools, as their restrictions ensure the agent is on track. The problem with low-code tools is that they also get more complicated to scale after maybe like >200 iterations. (for a medium-sized project, on average 6 months)
