Ask HN: Is this the end of the "no code platform" era?
3 comments
I think people who truly don't understand programming need more structure and guardrails than coding from scratch with LLMs.
If you're wanting to, say, set up an online store website, and you don't know how to build a website at all, I think using something like Shopify is a better path than consulting an LLM and having it generate code for you.
On the other hand, if you do understand at least generally how to build what you want, you can leverage LLMs to build it faster and customized beyond what something like Shopify could offer.
So I reckon, for true non-developers, some no-code platforms will carry on. For developers, LLMs will probably replace some subset of such things.

Semi code looks the path.
Even as a developer who uses alot of vibe code, i believe that the industry will go into AI Code standards with checks on design patterns + type checks + coq level testing

Now, obviously, there is. Vibe code is the new no code is what it looks like to me. What do you think? Does AI spell doom for no code platforms? Or will they adapt and become "semi code" platforms or something?
