Code generation is cheap in the same way talk is cheap.
Every human can string words together, but there's a world of difference between words that raise $100M and words that get you slapped in the face.
The raw material was always cheap. The skill is turning it into something useful. Agentic engineering is just the latest version of that. The new skill is mastering the craft of directing cheap inputs toward valuable outcomes.
I believe Low code / No code platforms evolve to use LLMs to actually still abstract out all the code bits but become even way more powerful. It’s cool to use cursor with sonnet but it’s still requires a level of being comfortable with writing code, local builds etc.
No code platforms can easily abstract this out one more level. The constrained outputs of these platforms are still sufficiently high enough to build lots of varied use cases.
