Uh... if Electron really let a 2-year-old baby (or, hell, even an eight-year-old) write software as widely used as appreciated as Slack, Signal (Desktop), or VSCode... I'd say that whoever wrote Electron should actually get a Turing Award, because that would be society-shaking!
I mean, no joke, democratizing software production is huge, and important, and hugely beneficial -- when more and more of our lives involve software, being able to produce it is hugely empowering. I don't know how much Electron really does that (we know it doesn't really let 2-year-old babies produce software), but that the author would find it of no benefit whatsoever if it did, or even something to make fun of or disparage...
When in other discussions people are like "the reason there aren't good no-code development tools is because software engineers don't want there to be, they are threatened by them, they keep them from us!" I'm usually like, nah, that's not what's going on... but it turns out they're literally talking about THIS GUY!
So anyway, I stopped reading there. Near the beginning.
