If you’ve ever worked in the real world, you’d know that the technical debt produced by developers who think they can build no-code alternatives in 10 hours is far worse than any technical debt these tools could produce.
10% of the code we write produces 90% of the value: retool etc. allow us to spend much less time on the 90% of code that isn’t valuable to the businesses we work for.
I disagree.
I've been cranking out CRUD APIs with libraries in very little time. If something gets too complex you toss it away and maybe keep just the data model
What retool offers is a nice UI on top of CRUD apps
Cool, but I lived without it for my entire career (and I thought of building something like retool for about as long)
