🙅♀️🙅 Pessimists
Negative Nancy says - “People prefer to learn code and build products.”
Me - Mastering coding comes with its own learning curve. Not everyone is strong in tech. There are thousands of NoCode tools used by millions of users.
Negative Nancy says - “Most founders move out of NoCode ecosystem and build their products with code after a certain point”
Me - The crucial aspect is that as long as NoCode accelerates the development process, founders generally find it acceptable. Nevertheless, there are instances where founders transition to coded products due to concerns related to scaling and costs at a certain stage.
