What makes you think LLMs will get better? The more we've seen AI develop the more fine tuned everyone's senses have got hyper-sensitised to what's AI and it just reeks of the uncanny, rendering it ultimately useless.
They aren’t getting eaten by LLMs, they just suck and that’s already a low bar to die due to a reason de jour. Cool looking toys to experiment with in a free money economy.
Low/no code tools don't need to be like that. The next generation will be the ones beating the current incubents. As LLM can generate code, LLM-powered no-code tools will deliver high level products with a fraction of the effort needed nowadays. OpenAI, Anthropic and the likes won't be capable of creating the best UX for consumer apps using LLMs. That's a great opportunity there.
But I do see the merit in this thinking that LLMs can eat LCNC platforms for breakfast. However I am excited to see how with time a near perfect applications can be churned out with about 80-90% work done and engineers can figure the last few miles and reach the finish line but 50x faster.
I believe Low code / No code platforms evolve to use LLMs to actually still abstract out all the code bits but become even way more powerful. It’s cool to use cursor with sonnet but it’s still requires a level of being comfortable with writing code, local builds etc. No code platforms can easily abstract this out one more level. The constrained outputs of these platforms are still sufficiently high enough to build lo…
There was never a need for Low Code platforms to begin with, unless demand from wishful thinking is included too. To accomplish the same thing in regular software languages and low code platform takes the exact same learning curve. If the low code platform is good , which they are often half arsed. And learning a regular software language is much more useful down the line too.
