I have been since the first people at my previous employer told me it would replace all the programmers.

Then I found out the developers assigned to working on the low/no code parts had a component where they could write Java inside their low code process. There were hundreds of lines of code in each business process in the low code parts. They were writing giant methods in their process wired up by the true low/no code part.

To make matters worse the tool did not support unit testing of the custom code.

It ended up being like dozer mapping entity to entity and then passed along to custom code. All wrapped in some crummy UI. It produced a jar file which would be deployed anyways.

Maybe the tools are better now. We had some Tibco product at the time.




VBA reborn!
