alt Hacker NewsFuck all this pointless noise, verbose analysis, LLMs and other associated crap.
Just someone give me MS Access for the web with an SSO module and let me drive it.
That'd cover 99% of LOB app needs and allow me to actually get shit done without tools that dissolve in my hands or require hordes of engineers to keep running or have to negotiate with a bullshit generator to puke out tens of thousands of lines of unmaintainable javascript crap.
We have achieved nothing in the last 25 years if we can't do that. Everyone who entered the industry since about 2005 appears to be completely braindead on how damn easy it was to get stuff actually done back then.

Someone upstream said Mendix is what you are looking for? (Know Access pretty well, don’t know a thing about Mendix.)
I'll admit to having joined the industry after 2005.
Can you say more about how easy it was to get stuff done back then? What was actually easier? Was Access just good and you didn't need to deal with building web apps?
look at grist! I played around with it and it seemed quite awesome.
Have you tried Airtable or the likes?
Come to the dark side my friend.
Embrace Oracle Apex.

This is essentially Rails and Django and so on
Yeah. Absolutely. Access and Visual Basic was the one low code platform that really worked.
The Apache foundation or someone ought to target that as a proper Open Source setup.
