Unqork CEO: Anything Java Coders Can Do, No-Code Can Do 200x Faster


CNBC reports that the next frontier in the Microsoft, Google, Amazon cloud battle is over a world without code.

Google recently acquired no-code app development platform AppSheet, Microsoft just launched a new public preview of its low-code Power Apps mobile app for iOS and Android, and there is speculation about an 'Amazon for Everyone' product from AWS. "Anything a Java developer or engineer can build using custom code, we can do it 200 times faster," boasted Unqork CEO Gary Hoberman, whose no-code company raised $131 million in its latest funding round from investors that included Alphabet.

The promise of no-code development platforms has been touted for decades — is it different this time?

It will be interesting to see honestly. With frameworks and shyt, most devs today are just business logic translators who are able to figure out what Ops' problems are and the best way to fix it with tech.
The problem with these no code platforms is that they have fallen apart at the enterprise level. They tend to make assumptions that companies can have well defined standard operating procedures.
My experience in enterprise development, is that
1. operations requirements are a never ending hodge-podge of edge cases and exceptions to the rules.
2. operations are so complex that the operations people have no real appetite for having to come up with technical solutions. I can't imagine expert logging ops folks, or maritime shipping savants wanting to muck around in technical documentation and having to decipher these inscrutable error codes

one day these platforms will supplant a lot of developers, i'm not sure that day is today.
