      I’d love to read a list of those instances/claims/tech

      I imagine one of them was low-code/no-code?

      /edit: I see such a list is what the posted link is about.

      I’m surprised there’s not low-code/no-code in that list.

        “We’re gonna make a fully functioning e-commerce website with only this WYSIWYG site builder. See? No need to hire any devs!”

        Several months later…

        “Well that was a complete waste of time.”

        You’re right. It belongs on the list.

        I was told several times that my programming career was ending, when the first low-code/no-code platforms released.

          At my work we explored a low-code platform. It was not low on code at all. Beyond the simplest demos you had to code everything in javascript, but in a convoluted, intransparend, undocumented environment with a horrendous editing UI. Of course their marketing was something different than that.

          That was not the early days of low-code mind you. It was rather recently; maybe three or four years ago.
