Low-code, will it ever replace coding?
A question that has been asked, written, and discussed quite often. With the rise in low-code tools, many developers have wondered, if low-code platforms are stealing their jobs!
Well, the answer to the question is NO, Low-code will not replace coding.
The Purpose of Low-code Platforms 🥁
Let’s understand the involved how and why:
By replacing coding with visual modeling, Low-code development eliminates the need for writing codes from scratch. These platforms are the solutions that address various developers’ problems and limitations like reducing boilerplate code, easy handoff to your team, integrating at ease, accelerating development with integrations & webhooks, etc.
Low-code essentially converts all of the abstractions into the code itself. These platforms have been designed to develop products faster and in a more efficient way.
Low-code tools optimize the entire development process to speed up delivery.
You can automate and optimize multiple stages of the development lifecycle with Low-code. As a result, the tools reduce the amount of traditional hand-coding, allowing for accelerated delivery of business applications. That’s not only it, people with a wide range of skill levels can contribute to the development of the application — not just those with coding skills. Also, lowering the initial cost of setup, training time, deployment period, and maintenance just adds the cherry on the top. 😻
By sparing the developers the grunt of spending hours in building the backend and instead of making it a matter of minutes, the Low-code environment allows developers to focus on more specific and important things to further develop, such as ideation.
Low-code tools will not replace developers. 👩💻
So, Low-code tools are not here to wash away programming jobs but to change and optimize the process. Developers can do much more, concentrating on the important part of the product development when the rest is assured by the Low-code platforms.🚀
