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.
Fully agree. As I end up pointing out too many times in my day job - a problem has a minimum level of complexity that you can't go below and still solve the problem. Using a low code platform still requires you to do all the hard work of figuring out a solution, but you then have to express in the confines of your low code solution.
As far as I'm concerned, these platforms are borderline snake oil.
