Low-Code, No-Code: Friend or Foe?

This podcast offers a multifaceted perspective on low-code and no-code (LCNC) solutions in software development. They discuss the benefits of LCNC, such as increased agility, faster development, and lower costs, particularly for automating simple processes and enabling non-technical users. However, they also highlight significant challenges and limitations, including difficulty with complex requirements, security risks, vendor lock-in, licensing issues, and the tendency for LCNC applications to become fragile and hard to maintain over time. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards LCNC being valuable for specific, less complex use cases and as a tool to augment traditional development, rather than fully replacing it.
