We&#x27;ve done this before, RAD tools in the early 2000s and then a few years after that it was workflows.<p>It doesn&#x27;t work.<p>One of the skills of being a programmer is to change a business workflow, which are often very vague and even very inefficient and open to interpretation, into a logical workflow.<p>Business people just don&#x27;t have that skill, so what happens is that you need a bunch of programmers to operate the RAD tools. But the RAD tools have a bunch of restrictions and quirks and don&#x27;t quite do what is wanted so the programmer is asked if he can just tweak it a bit.<p>And soon those little &#x27;tweaks&#x27; are taking longer than building the whole thing from scratch.
