I see it quite often as SaaS platform I work for the configuration grew into small time low code because business wanted to do all kinds of changes skipping dev cycle to deliver faster.
„low code” appeals to people - who are not technically capable, whose numbers are big - who think if they can get rid of this complex writing stuff they will be able to do stuff. Those people are on all levels of seniority so if CEO mandates stuff, company will do that.
Unfortunately essential complexity of an application does not go away and I have seen those people struggling, cursing and shooting themselves in the foot.
proper software dev tooling has all the right solutions for handling complexity like version control, CI/CD, unit/integration testing - no low code tools implement that.
But if people hear my solution „let’s teach you proper dev tools” they are pretty much uninterested.
