This really depends on how you define tech... Is a static website made with SquareSpace tech? Is an excel file tech? I'd argue yes, and if so, then I'd bet that number is much higher than 80%.


So many horse and buggy makers in these comments that can’t see what you see. They think that because some SaaS app they build required so much custom login that low code won’t make a big difference in their world view.

What low code really represents is making automation more accessible for more common tasks without knowing how to develop software. Zapier but for more complex tasks.

20 years ago you had apps like Dreamweaver or Frontpage that enabled this for many people to do static sites like a square space now does dynamic ones.

Sadly though, if history is any teacher, at some point these incremental improvements will create larger low code companies and further consolidate more of the web into a few bigger providers.


Someone who gets it!

Lowcode isn’t designed to replace all code, it’s designed to replace boilerplate CRUD apps with only a thin bit of logic. Often these are the internal apps too that aren’t worth the investment of a “fully coded” solution.


Can't wait to get a few dozen of those boilerplate CRUD apps! Sounds like that's going to take off any time now.
