Why “no code operations” is the next big job in tech

RPA (basically tools anyone can use to create programmatic APIs on top of legacy software) and NoCode/LowCode (letting anyone build an app with a spreadsheet as a database representation) are the biggest shifts in enterprise software since the cloud.

Whether you use the tools at work or in your personal lives, no-code will fundamentally shift the accessibility of software creation & open up the door for many new solutions to be created.

1.5 years of investing later, we think the rise of no code is a sub-theme in an even larger movement: tools that give knowledge workers superpowers.

The marginal cost of writing code is dropping, while the marginal cost of running it—to the extent that much of this new code is frequently using inference, or doing other computationally-intensive tasks—is rising. That's the reverse of the economic tailwind that's done so much for software engineers' incomes and software investors' returns.
