What the fuck is a low-code solution?
>>108745220Something like Python?from solutions import SolutionSolution()
from solutions import SolutionSolution()
>>108745241no, too much code here
>>108745220It translates to "we want to try and make this area of things accomplishable for retards who don't know anything about computers"
>>108745220in the previous "ai ai ai ai" era, what was supposed to replace programmers was instead low-code and no-code platforms which create web apps and whatever else for you by moving boxes around and "low-coding" what each of them did.
>>108745220For me? Wrapper functions around existing tools.
>>108745220Scratch-like interface or GUI where you connect nodes. What Microsoft is trying to make Azure.
No-code: your manager can do it without a devLow-code: an intern can do it
>>108745220No code is drag-n-drop GUI blocks or predefined dropdowns/pathways (i.e. Zapier). The user doesn't write any actual code and only interfaces with it through a GUI.In its purest form, low code is to gut an existing programming language, (E.g. no loops, objects, recursion etc exposed to the user...only primitives and functions calls.) and provide a strong domain-specific library that is used to accomplish tasks. So basically, build APIs and tooling so robust that the user doesn't NEED to write a lot of complex code. The user writes a low amount of simple code to get things done.For both of these, if you want to do something the GUI/tooling doesn't support then you are kinda screwed. So some low/no code platforms do expose a full, feature rich programming language to the user if they want it. Google AppsScript is like this in that it has a strong library for working with Google apps and doing webshit, but you have full Javascript at your disposal so you can write literally anything.

>>108745220>smoothbrain zoomzoom wants to convert 1000 webm's audio to PCM>write 50 line Python script to do it>lowcode boomerchad wants to do the same>fucking 3 lines of batch script to call ffmpeg on every file in the folder, map 0:a, convert to PCM, output WAV
>>108745220Stupid new term for scripting. Imagine some simple excel function for instance, now that’s ‘low-coding’.
>>108745220A scam.
>>108746416It's from the 90s and it should have died then.
>>108746416>Stupid new term for scripting.This.If a no-code or low-code system gets complicated enough, it might as well be code. There's a continuum, with no clear demarcation.
>>108745264solution()It was a built-in the whole time. We cut down 50% of our code base and are still feature compliant. :)
