For Developers the Low-Code Winter Is Coming
Prepare for hard times or move to where the sun is shining
Low-code development will be a problem for developers who resist; an opportunity for developers who embrace it
Winter for traditional developers is coming, will they grab their coat and tough it out or head towards the low-code summer party?
Current development skills will drop in demand because low-code development tools will create half of the software in the future.
Software development as a zero-sum game. The more development done using low-code development tools will be less development done using traditional development (code).
The growth of low-code development tools will shrink the traditional development market and reduce the need for developers with those skills. The Developers who adapt the best to the changing environment survive, those who don’t struggle along until demand for their skills disappears.
Low-code be like when Bill Gates described the internet as a tidal wave, Low-Code Tidal Wave Is the Slow Change Developers Refuse to See Coming.
Winter is coming. Grab your coat
“Winter Is Coming” is the motto of House Stark from Game of Thrones. It means you should be cautious because in summer times are good but in winter they are bleak and difficult.
Summer is a time of abundance, sun and fun, but it doesn’t last forever and winter always comes.
Winter is coming warns people to be cautious, the good times don’t last forever (summer) and cold tough times are coming.
What is the change?
Low-code is disrupting the creation of software (Low-Code Development Will Disrupt Software Development but It Will Need Software Developers to Do It)
Low-code has enormous investment and is a fast-growing area of software development. low code software development is eating the world. It’s big now and will continue to get bigger.
