It's time to drop 'No-Code'

The author expresses strong dissatisfaction with the terms "no-code" and "low-code," arguing that they often fail to capture the true essence of what they aim to represent, sometimes even becoming counterproductive, as seen in complex no-code tools that resemble circuit boards. Despite being a programmer, the author finds such tools more challenging than traditional coding, emphasizing that code itself is not inherently negative. They highlight the empowerment users feel when they can engage in minor coding within broader applications, using Excel as an example of a popular development environment. The author suggests that instead of apologizing for low-code and no-code solutions, the focus should be on creating future tools and platforms that enable non-developers to achieve what developers can, advocating for a new term that better reflects this vision, such as "beyond code."
