Hi Microwave! One Hot Code Please

They are fast, they are fuss-free, they pop up like hot toast without you having to burn your hands. But are they crisp enough? Well-cooked? Let's take a bite of low code, no code and vibe code today.

TLTR. That's the Gen Z and Gen Alpha's gripe with everything we boomers and Millennials grew up with. From letters, books, designs, blueprints, workflows, spreadsheets, story-plots to cars, conversations, dinners, itineraries, diaries and photo-albums - a lot has become ‘Too Long To Read’ and understandably so—for the time and age the digital natives have been raised in. It's normal today to just sit in a car and cruise—and not have to change gears at all. It would soon be normal to simply tell the car where you want to go and take a long nap while it gets you to the destination. The gear box and the intricate dance of machinery inside the hood - both- have vanished. To be replaced with chic and ultra-simple digital dashboards. Your job is just to think of what music you are in the mood for. Driving is, also and, finally TLTR'.

And yet, there are car connoisseurs who love a car for its specs—those of the hardcore kind. There are photographers who still lean towards cameras that offer some complexity. There are still planes and spaceships where cockpits retain the room for human eyes and fingers. There are still luxury watches that are expensive because they run on old mechanical parts. Expertise and complexity are not bugs but features - in many areas.

So why does that not hold true for coding? Or does it? Especially when business users do not need developers on the steering wheel anymore when they want to go to an app destination themselves. Even developers are not finding complex gear boxes on their seats anymore. It has all just become so swift, so sleek, so Gen Z today. The question is: Is it worth the 'skip button'?
