Agreed on 2), software development has become too easy, look at all the rubish people are putting online and in the appstores.

Javascript, java and python have made it too easy to write software. Would be better to return back to the days when everything was written in C and Assembly.

I wasn't talkind about engineerss. I was talking about no-code and the type of people who use such tools. That is, typically, no training, no understanding. They don't understand "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

I'm not knocking Honeycode and similar. I think they're great. But they are simply tools. They are at their best when they are paired with a user with some understanding and sufficient knowledge.
