Slightly off topic but as someone who was in the "no-code" or "low-code" bubble some time ago as a "consultant", the sale tactics of these companies are slimy, cutthroat, and lots of fluff.

Client will go around saying they need an app or a thing and they reach a no-code company who promise they can deliver a working MVP at sprint 0 (~2 weeks). They charge a lot of $$$ and promises what would be construed at 24/7 support. If they get the contract, the "consultants" are worked to the bone in the beginning because managers need to hit their marks, make their C-suite happy, and ultimately try and keep the client as a long term paying customer.

This isn't anything out of the ordinary but I just had to rant that no-code is BS but it's still a flourishing market.



Physics: if you increase energy flow into a closed system its entropy will rise

Tech company: we made you a tool that allows you to increase energy flows into your closed systems AND decrease their entropy!

Software engineers: thank you for increasing the demand for manual entropy management and getting our pay to new heights while proclaiming our demise as a class.
