I've always liked the term "low code", even though it essentially suffers from the same failing. It better communicates what a service is trying to do. My favorite example is Excel, the world's most valuable programming language, but it does always feel like coding which I think is important

imo this isn't a very sophisticated take on the topic. The label is so wide and being applied to so many things, it's kind of meaningless to discuss without specific examples. Critique of the hype and broadness of the label itself might be useful in the context of a wider analysis but this doesn't have that either.

@yoshiki Perhaps I was being too generous, but I took it to be precisely a criticism of the most extreme claims (and thus hype center) around these systems.

Nosyntaxerrors doesn't have the same ring to it

I agree this kind of tweets from popular people help reframe the actual meaning or goals. My feeling is that Gary only reminds that some people hope that nocode systems will hide all complexity, which is not possible when you design, well, complex system.
