It sucks that most of those people are going to be entirely dependent on a proprietary service to build things for them and they will never actually bother learning or improving their skills, even though the tools to do so have never been more freely and widely available.

It also sucks that so many people in tech think that the widespread loss of education, knowledge and freedom is a good thing.

I do not think it's a good thing for normal people to have to learn programming languages to built programs to solve their problems. To me this is like how the HAM radio people used to be required to learn Morse code.

I get that it might suck for people like us, who took the time to learn those languages! Oh well.
