What Everyone Gets Wrong About No-Code
Bringing business users into the development process is great, but giving engineers a better way to build software is a paradigm shift for the enterprise
Throughout my career, I’ve introduced myself as a hacker that started coding in 5th grade. From my early days on Wall Street to my time as a Fortune 50 CIO managing 10,000 software engineers, I’ve always loved solving online functional programming challenges — both for fun and to solve real world problems.
Now as a founder of my own no code software platform Unqork, I’m experiencing the most mind-blowing thing: seeing my technology used in ways I never even imagined, to solve problems I hadn’t even considered. For me, that experience is watching people who have no formal software engineering background use our no-code platform to create enterprise-grade software.
In a recent hackathon on our platform, we saw non-engineers with just a few hours of training codelessly configure solutions to meet their specific needs: everything from institutional client onboarding systems for wealth management, data processing tools, operations and command centers, contact-tracing software for schools and even a gaming app built by an 11-year-old. Incredible to see.
