While there is a lot of noise about the hottest programming languages and the evolution of Web3, blockchain and the metaverse, none of this will matter if the industry doesn't have highly skilled software developers to build them," argues ZDNet.

CheckMarx is a builder software that tests application security. He predicted? Traditional coding will eventually be replaced by automatic code generators. Over the next few years, every developer will have their code generated so they can focus on their core business. The future of the internet will be shaped by low code and no code tools as businesses use automation to quickly build and deploy new apps. Less than 25% of new applications in 2020 will be based on low-code or no-code tools, compared to 70% by the year 2025. A lot of this work will be done by people who don't have formal training in computer programming. An innovative approach to training is needed in order to build a skilled workforce. Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow, says that low code and no code tools are democratizing software development and giving opportunities for more people to build technology. More opportunities for talented individuals from non-tech or non-academic background will be created by the rise of low-code and no-code. According to a survey by developer recruitment platforms CoderPad and CodinGame, 81% of tech recruiters now readily hire from 'no- degree' candidates. As the demand for software professionals increases, this trend will only grow.

Stack Overflow's CEO sees some limitations. "Without taking the time to learn the fundamentals of writing code or the context in which code is used, developers using low-code or code suggestion tools will hit a limit in the quality and functionality of their code." How is this playing out in the real world of professional IT? I'd like to invite Slashdot's readers to share their own experiences in the comments. Are you seeing low-code and no-code development replacing traditional coding?
