I think it will eventually provide most of the scaffolding especially for frontend. Main resistance is with OG developers - new devs will embrace it going forward.

I remember when automatic cars came about - people who were used to manual shift resisted it, but now it’s almost silly to push back on automatic.

Another good example is house printing / prefabs - it’s just a matter of adoption but builders provide the resistance because of money they’ll loose.

Right, I have to agree. Automatic cars are a good example.

I don't think they are. A manual car causes a constant overhead that is relatively easy to manage, at the same time the driver has to have their attention on the road anyway. A "yes-code" software development OTOH is very expensive and will happily be swapped away if there were an equally flexible and powerful alternative.

Maybe no-code it's more like autonomous driving: "big, if true" but not quite there yet?
