Low-code is not a cure for overworked IT departments
I am currently working with low&#x2F;no code to build an application that will form the backbone of the core domain at a F500 company. The application will eventually host 1000&#x27;s of users across the world. The main takeaway is that there is a world of difference between work produced by someone with actual real world coding experience and those that just learned on the no code platform. Real engineers are able to use the platform as essentially just another programming language while the non engineers build horribly inefficient outputs. When you speak to the non engineers its clear they have no concept of what it takes to make a system work and scale or anything that a software engineer would consider vital to a robust application, they just connect component A to component B. No code is just a tool, the quality of the builders controls the quality of the product. I will add though that there are definite gotchas to no code environments that can spell disaster to the end result. I have found things like hidden settings in the platform that control memory management, state, etc. Pretty frustrating to realize suddenly your application cannot scale and its because of something hidden in an environment level setting somewhere that no one even told you existed.
