RE: Fiverr's Avocado App Ad The Painful Truth About No-Code Pipe Dreams

Drag and drop elements are everywhere.

Bootstrap. Wordpress. PowerPoint. The "build your SaaS" stuff using something like n8n. No one builds from the ground up anymore.

So much code is a mess of library piled upon upon library, and only a few people know how things work. Its more about connecting existing things that work, through new strings that... barely work, or could go down overnight, or are hosted on unstable infrastructure.

I am guilty of the unstable infrastructure (we discussed that last week ;) ) and while I don't know how a python image library works, I can call one into a script, google a few things, read the docs (in an abstracted way) - and get something out of it.

But when something breaks, you're on your own, because I doubt that anyone will care about these sorts of tools or scripts. For them to stay functioning, people must never forget the foundations any time soon.
