What people failed to grasp about low-code/no-code tools (and what I believe the author ultimately says) is that it was never about technical ability. It was about time.

The people who were "supposed" to be the targets of these tools didn't have the time to begin with, let alone the technical experience to round out the rough edges. It's a chore maintaining these types of things.

These tools don't change that equation. I truly believe that we'll see a new golden age of targeted, bepsoke software that can now be developed cheaper instead of small/medium businesses utilizing off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all solutions.
