Comment on Ask HN: Is no-code a future of web development?

Comments

We can look to Salesforce for how this will likely play out - they aren't the only no-code platform out there, but they are big and have been around a while, so their dev culture has had a long time to evolve.

In that world, most devs work primarily in the no-code portion of that platform, maybe with some basic coding skills. That group does the majority of app dev work. But there is a smaller percentage of people who do write code, and who do the work that goes beyond what the no-code features can do.

So most other platforms will likely match - a wide swath of people, functions, and apps are no-code, and you absolutely can succeed both doing no-code work for your job, with most businesses not needing more than that. But there will always be another layer underneath the non-code to let businesses who need more to have coders who add more features.
