In Episode 9 of the Acceleration Economy Minute, Kieron Allen explains why coders are still necessary in today’s world — and how they enable more access to tools and technologies.
Highlights
00:15 — Acceleration Economy analyst Toni Witt spoke with the founder of BUNDLAR. BUNDLAR is a no-code platform that enables the use of augmented reality (AR) for education and communications purposes. The company is another example of how low-code is infiltrating many areas.
00:46 — Low-code/no-code is an important part of the acceleration economy because it enables more users to engage with tools and technologies. The greatest benefit of no-code platforms is the fact they are so accessible — particularly within the area of data analysis.
01:15 — The increasing popularity of low-code/no-code applications begs the question “are we neglecting developers?”
01:43 — A core reason coders are necessary is because they offer customizability. While no-code applications work very well, they enable universal access that is hard to customize. To thrive in the acceleration economy, company services must be able to be tailored to meet customer needs. Because of this, customization — made possible by coders — is crucial.
02:35 — As low-code/no-code applications become widely adopted, organizations must allocate some of their budgets to hiring coders who can customize these applications.
