>I wonder if low code/no code technology is an attempt to automate to the extreme. Build the platforms that enable more people to construct applications. I guess we see things like IFTT, zapier, salesforce, etc and it hasn’t changed much in the software world yet. I think public API products fit into this category too.

All the low/no code products are an attempt to use fewer programmers and to make it easier for non-programmers to configure their systems. In the simplest cases is works OK; but no system stays simple forever. As the complexity rises the Low/No code systems become much more of a liability than a benefit.

>That brings up and interesting thought. How does relate to the average level of craftsmanship across the profession? It seemingly creates a divide. Those who enable more software development must be must account for the delinquency of a newer generation of software development.

The average level of craftsmanship decreases because of the exponential growth. The need for craftsmanship _increases_ because the complexity increases. It's a dilemma.
