No-code is a lie

No-code tools, which are built on extensive code, allow users to generate and interact with code without directly writing it, requiring skills akin to those of developers, such as debugging and abstract thinking. This parallels the API economy, where specialized software companies offer solutions to complex problems, enabling developers to integrate sophisticated functionalities, like payment systems or search capabilities, with minimal effort. The rise of APIs has not threatened developer roles; instead, it has allowed them to focus on core business needs, reflected in rising salaries. Similarly, the no-code movement, or "GUI economy," empowers a broader range of technically inclined individuals to create and manage software through intuitive graphical interfaces, thus expanding software development accessibility without undermining traditional developer roles.
