Low code isn't about tinkering under the hood. It's about going places.

Most cars have automatic transmissions now. Cars don't have manual chokes anymore. They're reliable enough now that most people don't need to know anything about repair, engine or otherwise, whereas that used to be widespread knowledge.

Yes, I agree. I thought that was obvious in my response. Modern cars are "low code", so mechanics don't need advanced degrees to fix them. Also: "the complexity is eventually abstracted away", which is exactly what you are saying.

Most cars do exactly the same thing, while programs there are not two the same.
