Wasn’t “lo-code” a BIG thing a few years ago… that would destroy programming and make every PM a developer? Whatever happened to that? 🤔
Edit: read the HN comments. If I ever go back to consulting, I’m 10x-ing my rate to work on cleaning up this slop. I’m not anti-AI coding and use it for my own projects, but if you just give it a prompt and walk away, you will be very sad later.
There’s a BIG difference between prototypes and something others have to use. As the lo-code folks found out the hard way.
Aren’t professional tools using node-based compositing, which ends up being just as complicated as code in big projects? They’ll do anything to hide the code, because code is scary, even if it’s the same.

Yep, any day now…

Thing is, cleaning up slop, AI or otherwise, is miserable, slow, difficult work. It’s why we get caught in rewrite traps.
