No-code is for coders, too

There is a common misconception that #nocode (or #codeless) platforms and tools are only for non-technical builders. This, of course, couldn’t be further from the truth.

No-code and low-code solutions are typically created by developers as a tool to speed up their own development process. This is particularly true of #backend-oriented tools; the tool is created to automate the redundant and/or trivial tasks that are common with setting up a backend. Once the “simple” tasks are removed, developers can focus on the elements of their project that are true differentiators, be that a gorgeous UI, innovative APIs, powerful logic and algorithms, and so on.

No-code and low-code should not be seen merely as a way to “democratize development” — which, no doubt, they do — but also as a means for experienced developers to build faster, build more innovative projects, and try new concepts, all without getting bogged down in the minutia of server hosting, setting up databases, (re)creating basic APIs, etc.

So developers, here is your call: Build with #nocode and #lowcode so the world can see your app, website, automation, tool, etc. that you are building sooner.

Build faster -> test sooner -> iterate faster -> launch sooner -> make your users’ lives easier.

In the end, we all win.
