No-coders are real programmers and they deserve better tools

    I don't like the word coder. I don't write code, I write programs. I'm a programmer, or a software engineer, or a software developer, not a mere coder.

    Low-code and no-code tools are often sneered at, and admittedly I don't use them, but there's no reason why code has to be the 'proper' way of doing things, and low-code and no-code regarded as toys for the children. It's just how we ended up doing things.

    If you're creating programs, it doesn't matter what you made them out of. Writing code is the easy part: knowing what code to write, or what blocks to arrange, or whatever, is the hard part.

    any "no coder" that loves what he/she's doing... will want to learn more and BECOME a full fledge programmer :)
