How much code?
We have lots of development tools to keep track of. Often, we need to get up to speed on something new and integrate it into our development system quickly for a project that requires it.

Low-code and no-code tools add a new dimension to our high-velocity tool management requirements. Not only for our own use, but for non-developers who can use these tools, and what that means for our own work. We found an article that provides some background and some clarity on the subject.

Look for more on that, and some links to articles about movies featuring developers, the future of CSS, plus much more down below.

Heads Up
What Is Low-code and No-code? And, What’s Their Future?
Getting applications out there quicker has never been easier with the advent of no-code and low-code tools, demonstrated by one of the first low-code tools, CA Plex. This is a big plus for business units that need to get the job done quickly and efficiently, and the very reason we developed CM WebClient.

This has important implications for developers, bringing us the age-old question. How does this affect my professions, and will this make my job obsolete?

Demand for developers is at an all-time high, so the answer is certainly not. But it's a good idea to keep up with the tools hitting the market these days. We might even find some more that helps us do our job better.
