Hang on. If no-code costs a tenth as much as custom code, surely you’d always use it?
He said, well no, because of GDPR, because of integrations, and because no-code will only get you 80% of where you want to go.
I’m suspicious of all these reasons. No-code will typically be stronger on GDPR (and other security issues) as you’ve got great engineers focused on your problems. No-code tools have hardened interfaces, so are often easier to integrate with. And if you can get 80% of the way for 10% of the cost, I’d suggest you should give the 80% solution a whirl, as you’ll still have 90% of your budget left for further experimentation. (And with most software, you don’t know really know where you are going anyway.)
Anyway, that’s a discussion for another day. The fascinating thing is that even a no-code skeptic believes no-code is hugely more productive.
