It certainly doesn't mean what it says: no code

That’s the intent though. It’s just that “as little as possible”-code didn’t do well on the focus groups for the naming.

I wonder if people who choose no-code platforms for mentioned reasons are also the people who build the software.
If so, I'd like to know what they think a year from now.
I've worked with a no-code platform and no-code != no-knowledge.
It wasn't particularly easy for me as a professional coder, but I've worked with someone who's done WinForms and SQL Server for twenty years and he just didn't grasp basic web concepts, despite it being no-code.
This platform recommended all their customers make use of their partner business which actually built the software for their clients.
So these customers choose a no-code platform and then outsourced the building of software in that platform, simply because customers didn't understand the platform well enough to build professional software quickly.
I think what these people are forgetting, or never knew, is that writing code is only a small percentage of making software.

Yeah. They skipped the grant-writing process, to make certain the the project behind the code was absolutely meaningless to modern society. That has to be the single-most time-consuming part of most projects.

In 2018, Cornell researchers built a high-powered detector that, in combination with an algorithm-driven process called ptychography, set a world record by tripling the resolution of a state-of-the-art electron microscope. Because I know many of you are into ptychography

We know the internet is important to commerce, and now, here is an estimate of its value per hour. Not to mention the emotional damage from loss of cat videos

Hmm. I think the financial damage would be the least of our worries. A vast amount of first-world civilization depends upon a functioning Internet. Those communications are used for resource management. I suspect a sudden failure of those communications would trigger a massive cascade of failures in the majority of systems that maintain and operate our society. We might last for an outage of hours or even days, but I think too much longer than that and we would see significant casualties.

I, for one, love cat videos.

And now the race is on to find an acronym for the detector which spells out FERNANDO.

Are you trying to learn to code? Or perhaps you're an educator or a student, or you know someone who us? Sometimes it's intimidating when you consider all the things to install and run to get started. Come to the Dark Side - we have LINQ

As Apple CEO Tim Cook prepared to leave the stand on Friday afternoon on the 15th and final day of courtroom testimony, Gonzalez Rogers took nearly 10 minutes — the longest singular line of questioning she's put to a witness in the trial — to grill Cook about both the business model of the App Store and the very nature of its relationship with developers. Maybe she just wanted to cook Tim?
