TL;DR: He relies on 3 different online services to scan business receipts and track expenses. None are needed. He spends hours (days) trying to automate what he himself claims is only a few expenses per month (and shows a photo of a very thin folder of receipts). I can’t imagine his business will be ever very successful. He wastes too much time toying with simple things. But aside from that, if one wants a “no code”…

It is me or “no code” is just “Unix way” of cloud world?

if Unix utilities could do a thousand different things instead of just one - then yes :)

And yeah, I know how taxes work and I always pay for apps, even the shitty ones. B…

It's a little hyperbole but in principle it's true, especially in Germany. Of course you can like the concept of redistribution of income and wealth, but that doesn't makes it "blatantly wrong and reactionary".

I saw no-code and poor eyesight picked out what looked like an amateur 2x2 callsign so I thought this was about licensing and morse code.

Cool workflow he has developed. It seems taxes are too crazy everywhere.
