“Every decade, a new technology is sold as the one that finally lets executives ship software without programmers. None of them have worked. This one will not either.”
CASE tools in the 80s, 4GLs in the 90s, low-code in the 2010s, and now AI agents. The pitch is identical every time. Cut out the expensive engineers, let the business analysts ship features directly. The pitch fails for the same reason every time. The hard part of software is not typing. It is understanding what to build and why. No tool has solved that and no tool is going to.
