What is no-code?
And Why does this matter now MORE THAN EVER?
When we talk about no-code, we refer to:
"Practice of developing applications, software or systems through visual interfaces."
No-code developers do not develop by writing lines of code per se.
They use visual tools and logic much more similar to the way humans think.
Emmanuel Straschnov, founder and CEO of Bubble, one of the largest no-code platforms, once said:
"Why in today's worlds, is it expected that people learn and speak the language of computers?
Shouldn't computers learn to speak our language instead?"
I don't know about you, but to me, this makes a lot of sense.
But hey, why is this important and why now?
I'll explain,
If you have been following the tech market in recent years, you must have heard about companies' difficulty in hiring and retaining developers.
According to US Labor Statistics:
In 2019, the shortage of developers was at a total of 40 million workers.
By 2030, the expectation is that this number will reach 85 million.
Generating a global loss of US$8.4 trillion.
This is due to the exponential growth of companies using and creating their own applications and software in recent years.
And as it takes time to train good developers, the perfect chaos was created:
- A high demand that keeps growing (and won't stop growing for a long time)
- A low supply that we have difficulty solving, due to the time it takes to train programmers.
And what are the consequences of this?
- Salaries to hire and retain such professionals have never been so high
- Development costs of applications keep growing
- Difficulty for small and medium businesses to enter this game
Thousands of companies have this pain.
And that's where no-code shines.
No-code platforms greatly reduce the learning curve.
To master a programming language, it takes years of practice and study.
With no-code, in a few months you already have a good command of the tool and can be developing end-to-end applications.
In addition, the speed with which we can create apps is much higher, reducing the time and cost of the whole process.
These benefits have attracted a lot of attention from entrepreneurs and companies.
And many have already opted for and given preference to no-code development
According to Gartner:
By 2024, more than 65% of technology products will be built by those who are not professionals in the field.
According to projections from Globe Newswire:
The no-code and low-code market should go from US 10 Bi in 2019 to US187 Bi by 2030.
