    The most dangerous / obnoxious software is software that lets people who don’t know what they’re doing do it anyway and badly.

    Aside from being vehicles for vendor-lock in, that’s my main beef with these low- and no-code platforms (plus or minus “AI”). They’re touted as “you don’t have to know what you’re doing to get things done” and the results are consistently predictable.

    At most they should only be used by non-programmers to mock up something that deals with a process they’re familiar with, and a real developer uses that as a model to make a production version the proper way. They should never be used for critical line-of-business work beyond that.
