Low-code development platforms are not yet very suitable for non-technical users.

On the surface, opening a low-code editor to automatically generate a complete application sounds great. But in practice, you still need to understand system architecture, API calls, version control, and other concepts.

No-code tools can indeed help you build things, and that's true. The problem is—those are completely different from truly mastering development skills.

According to data, the learning curve of low-code platforms is not as user-friendly as marketing promises, with only about 23% of non-technical users successfully getting started. In simple terms, this is a "threshold shifting" trick—shifting from code complexity to concept complexity.

nah fr, this is just the typical rugpull signature of the no-code movement. transaction pattern suggests these platforms are basically vaporware for non-devs... wallet clustering indicates 99% of users hit the same wall within weeks lol

honestly ngl, this is just mining without understanding difficulty adjustment at this point. you can spin up the gui but that doesn't mean you've got network hashrate knowledge... totally different ballgame fr

Low-code development still requires understanding technology; it's just a way to deceive beginners.

Low-code is just the project team's secret to wealth; fooling beginners is really easy.

Basically, it's just the same old trick of cutting leeks, the threshold hasn't really lowered much.

ngl this is basically what happened to me back in my mining days—everyone thought gpu rigs were plug-and-play money printers until the hashrate crashed and suddenly you're debugging driver conflicts at 3am lol

actually, this is just rehashing the same trust assumption problem we see everywhere—you're outsourcing complexity to a black box, pretending you understand the underlying primitives. except with low-code you don't even get the cryptographic guarantees, tbh

nah this is exactly like watching gas prices tank at 2am... everyone thinks they'll time the perfect buy, but you still need to know when to actually hit that button, you know? no-code's the same trap tbh

Haha, it's true. Low-code is just a scam, right? You still need technical skills.
