Lots of attention has (deservedly!) been given to No Code tools. But what if we combined the simplicity of those tools with the undeniable power of real code, without adding the complexity of the big cloud services platforms? We could call it "Yes Code": linkedin.com/pulse/code-gre…
We've been thinking about this one for a while, and though this is a little overly-simplistic, this is a quick contrasting of the No Code and Yes Code approaches. (To be clear: Both are awesome, and deeply necessary. But neither is sufficient on its own.) A simple comparison of No Code and Yes Code approaches to creation shows that No Code emphasizes simplicity and providing integrated tools, while Yes Code emphasizes open-endedness and the ability to connect to, or re-use, existing developer tools. Both are great for making a better internet.
Probably obvious, but: @Glitch is a Yes Code tool. The biggest barrier to regular people building a better internet is not writing code — it's the arbitrary technical and social barriers constructed around coding. If we can tear those down, millions of people are ready to create.
