Software that Writes Itself? Low/No Code Applications have Arrived

One technological advancement that is taking companies by storm is something that most businesses or organizations likely did not see coming, nor did many consider the positive implications of: The rise of low code and no code interfaces.

Low code and no code application development refers to the use of visual tools to create software applications without the need for traditional programming languages to write code long-hand. In some cases, users of low code/no code applications only need to write base-level code to get a piece of software or website to operate, with the rest being predominantly visual design.

In the past, the only way for businesses to obtain new applications was to hire professional coders internally or externally. As time moved on, another option surfaced with regard to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in that those in need of an application could purchase it or pay a subscription to essentially lease it as an already fully developed software.

There are two downsides to both of these options. Hiring a software developer internally can be quite expensive, and likewise outside developers do not understand the vision of what you are trying to accomplish with your application.
