No-code is blowing up, and I couldn't be happier. But no-code is NOT the future. 🙅🏽‍♂️

Low-code is. 👐🏽

I think it's a three-step process 👇🏽 https://twitter.com/gregisenberg/status/1326879302667935746
Step 1: No-code is the red pill. 💊

Once you're down the rabbit hole there's no going back.

You can't unsee your own potential and ability.
Step 2: Basic coding = beginning to believe ( #Neo) 😤

Basic no-code only gets you ~50% (generously) there.

Conceptual OOP, variable creation, IF statements, loops, and even concepts like SQL and Regular Expressions take you from 50% to 150%.
Step 3: Find the others

Learning is really hard when you're alone.

Great learning 👉🏽 building, stumbling, and improving with a community.

Alone, we second-guess the journey.

"Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill" ⁉️

Don't become Cypher.
Bonus low-code thoughts 💭, ideas💡, and hot takes 🔥:

💭Thought: Steps ≠ linear
💡Idea: Teach low-code AND no-code
🔥Hot-take: Don't start with bubble

Low-code thought 💭: "𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽" ≠ 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿

Often, Step 3 (Find the others) comes before Step 1 (No-code red pill).

Few people just take random red pills on the internet 💊.

You need Morpheus and Trinity to show you the value 😉.

Everything is fluid ♻️
Low-code idea💡: 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗻𝗼-𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲

Sample low-code learning path 🛣:

• Basic Google Sheets ➡️
• REGEX + QUERY + INDEX/MATCH ➡️
• Google Apps Script ➡️
@AppyPieInc, @glideapps, @GetSheety and more ➡️
• Lifetime of building 🚀

@bubble courses are exploding (big fan 😍)

But the learning curve is steep ⤵️

Anna Karenina is a top-notch read, but if it was the foundation of reading education, we'd have global illiteracy.

Start simple.
ADD ON: All my strong opinions are always weakly held 😉

Curious what no-code & indie leaders like @thisiskp_ @TomNassr @seifip @thatguyBG @csallen @bentossell think/have to say here.
