There is no doubt that process automation is happening in virtually every industry, and programming is no exception. However, the question is: will no code replace developers? Keep reading!
What is no code?
No code solutions allow developing a digital product without coding. These solutions usually have intelligent and easy-to-use user interfaces where users (citizen developers) can build their products without technical knowledge.
Besides simple app building, these solutions can be seen in content management systems, customer relationship management, analytics tools, and SaaS.
The future of no code solutions
There are numerous benefits to no code tools and solutions:
- Automation of specific tasks and processes;
- Cost reduction;
- Faster product development;
- Increased accessibility for non-technical users and disabled people.
It seems like no code and low code are to stay with us for longer. However, the real question is: will no code replace developers?
While many people shift to becoming citizen developers, they still lack formal training in programming. This means that most citizen developers have little to no knowledge about security concepts. Thus, the risk of misconfigured permissions or even personal data leaks can be quite high unless a professional developer does some parts of the work. Simply put, n-code developers can't replace developers as of now.
