Low code and no code are ideas that are gaining traction. Lowcode development platforms are used to solve all sorts of software development problems, but what is no code development, is this a new idea that will take your job, or is this another attempt at an old idea and some kind of nocode bubble. What is the effect of low code on programmers, and the organisations that employ them? What are the pitfalls to adopting lowcode solutions and what should you do to avoid them?

In this episode, Dave Farley, author of “Continuous Delivery” and “Modern Software Engineering” explores the use, and problems in using, lowcode for software development. Computer science and software engineering have evolved strategies to deal with the complexities at the heart of software, but can lowcode really hide these complexities? Dave describes some common, maybe unavoidable problems and discusses what you need to do to avoid them.
