“Low code”, drag-and-drop BULLSHIT

@DeathsShadow No, and what's even worse: it attracts people who can't code and hence create the legitimate successor of shitty Fortran code. Only that this time, you can't even properly search the mess they create.

This will unfortunately never replace coding.

I just learnt Wordpress coming from C++.

I made a website before just by using plain HTML and CSS, taking hours just to find out how to do things.

Looking at Wordpress, the first thing that came to mind is "WTF is this drag and drop bullshit, even 5 yo can do it".

No offense to all the Wordpress dev out there, but seriously man ... 🤷‍♀️

It's a scam where they're not targeting you, the developer but your gullible CEO or some random MBA dude at the top who can get easily enamoured by fancy drag and drop shit.

We get the worst end of this deal because we get to spend months being sandwiched between shitty timelines that never make sense and the dogshit framework they built that can't do one thing beyond making a basic page with tables and text

Nothing like developing a fast, cheap, scalable solution to a problem only to be told soon afterward that it's being replaced with a proprietary drag-and-drop tool. "It'll be faster and easier for YOU," says the manager with no technical background, who goes into a blind panic at the mere mention of the word "code," and can't grasp the idea that the person whose job it is to work with code might actually be very comfortable doing so. I'm a programmer, sir. I don't even own a mouse.

@smooto damn right lol

I have this buzzword on my resume and now I feel guilty af
