Today is serious man, let's seriously discuss the replacement issue that has been quarreling for a long time.
Low-code development platform, will low-code technology replace developers?
1. Background
With the popularity of low-code development platforms, many companies have great expectations for quickly generating applications. Some people even think that low-code development platforms will "kill" developers in the future. is this real? Long time no time to share. Let's talk about the thinking article about low code today. You can have a look at it. I hope it will help you.
The concept of low code , Baidu's original words:
Low code (Low Code) is a visual application development method, which uses less code to deliver applications at a faster speed, and automates the code that programmers do not want to develop, which is called low code. [1]
Low-code is a set of digital technology tool platforms, based on more efficient methods such as graphical drag and drop, parameterized configuration, etc., to achieve rapid construction, data arrangement, connection ecology, and middle-end services. Realize scenario application innovation in digital transformation with little or no code. [1]
2. Problems that low-code can solve
The demand for application development is strong, and many enterprises and developers have turned to low-code, especially the high-speed iteration of the Internet has led to explosive growth in the demand for enterprise application development. Traditional code-only application research and development methods are gradually weak, and low-code has become a necessary part of enterprise digital capabilities.
Low code will generally solve the following aspects:
1. Lower the threshold of application development
Traditional software takes a long time to develop, and it is difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing user needs of the software market. So how to solve it? 1-2 professional developers will take the lead, and let non-professional developers/business personnel use low-code platforms to assist in development according to market needs.
It can not only solve the problems of accumulation of task requirements and high cost of personnel recruitment under the traditional development mode, but also allow business personnel/non-professional developers to assist in the implementation of applications according to market and business needs, and avoid problems such as incorrect products.
For professional developers, it also has higher value, focusing more on innovative, valuable, and highly differentiated work, while meeting the individual and agility needs of enterprises.
2. Strengthen communication and collaboration in the development process
The reason for many software development failures is that the requirements are not well understood and the communication is not in place. In the traditional development mode, business, product, design, development, testing and other personnel perform their own duties, and each has a set of tools and languages exclusive to his own field, which makes cross-departmental communication very difficult and inefficient.
The so-called, there are specializations in the technical industry, those who understand technology do not understand business, and those who understand business do not understand technology, resulting in each having their own thinking, which is prone to problems in the follow-up. Either the technical staff redeveloped it, or the business staff used it forcibly.
The emergence of low-code makes business and technology simpler and smoother, and reduces development costs and delayed delivery problems to a certain extent.
Of course, the most important thing is to learn from each other's strengths, rather than abandoning one side for development. We need to take advantage of the respective advantages of traditional development and low-code to accelerate the progress of future software development. The low-code model is still in the exploratory stage, and some problems will inevitably be encountered in the process. But no matter what the current situation is, it can be regarded as a crucial step, and the future development can still be expected, we will wait and see!
As for the low-code replacement of developers involved, it is simply a fantasy.
To be honest, low-code will not replace professional developers at all, it is more like a good friend of professional developers, and can complement each other.
It can not only greatly shorten the construction and release time of applications, but also allow developers to get twice the result with half the effort. It also allows non-technical developers to build less complex applications, allowing more professional developers to focus on more complex and important applications.
As an enterprise partner, the JNPF rapid development platform has empowered 1000+ projects to be successfully implemented and accompanied 100,000+ users to get started. As an enterprise-level low-code platform, JNPF also hopes to empower more enterprises and developers in the future!
It adapts to various scenarios in the industry and can be seamlessly integrated with mainstream information systems. Any informatization project can develop various management systems such as ERP, OA, CRM, and EHR based on JNPF. Here it is strongly recommended that those who play software or business owners try it, you will find a different surprise!
Core functions: form engine, visualization engine, report engine, process engine, authority engine, portal engine, large screen engine, interface center, IoT platform. Direct navigation: JNPF development platform (be free)
Three, finally
The low-code development platform is not to subvert developers, but to free developers from heavy and repetitive code and participate in more valuable development links. Rather than saying that a low-code development platform will "kill" developers, it is better to say that it will "kill" traditional development models.
