Every year…every decade…the dream of low-code/no-code emerges once again in another form. And while well-built tools with good UX can indeed help non-programmers build "simple" databases and webpages, this is not something that scales to projects which require programming expertise.

Also the examples in this article make no sense. It's already trivial to compile plain text in accessible formats like Markdown to beautiful, semantic HTML. You can already build systems which take very simple text descriptions of forms and emit actual forms. Heck, I could take input like:

Contact Me form

name
email (required)
appointment date
message

and turn that into an HTML form with zero LLMs involved. But why even do that? Someone, anyone, could drag'n'drop a form together in a couple minutes. Easy.

LLMs are constantly a (poor) solution in search of a problem. Virtually every just-so story someone can share with me about how an LLM supposedly will solve their problem, I can show examples of how else to do it. We are wasting outrageous amounts of time on technologies unfit for purpose.

(Also worth mentioning the author's entire modus operandi is to promote Google's Big Tech vision of AI-all-the-things and hence the blog is chock full of one just-so story after another. It's quite safe to ignore completely as pure propaganda.)
