Rails is better low code than low code

What is low code anyway in 2024?

For example, is AWS Amplify or Firebase low code?

Some managers at my current consultancy job think that ChatGPT is a low code solution worth selling to the customers as a service. I wonder if it’s a 4d chess approach to sell traditional programmers once clients realise that ChatGPT slop of code now needs way more than LLM-powered developers to maintain it.

Power Apps https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/powe...

Uses excel and excel like formulas for stuff. Not bad for power users that can/want hack their app together.

PowerApps would not catch me endorsing it for anything beyond a year of use, however. Either a replacement needs to be on its way, or it's for a project with a defined end date.

Otherwise, "there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution".

I see low code tools are suitable for power users (citizen developer) and less for programmers (pro developer).

Like a farmer hacking together some stuff for their needs instead of waiting for official solution.

Power users automate their way to gain efficiency when programmers are busy doing their stuff.

Also, is a headless CMS low code?
