Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

There's plenty of more recent pushes to allow non-technical users to build apps, more than are countable. As far as "great" ones, maybe Azure Logic Apps? It's Microsoft's option for low/no code automation in Azure. It's all code under the hood, but it mainly works as premade blocks you drag and drop, and connect like a flow chart. Pretty sure it's event driven. Most blocks have some drop down options and settings to fill in the blanks of. I think you can also just have some code as a block too.
Haven't used it myself, just had to help support some of the input, output, and governance. Also have seen it brought up a bunch in Azure certification paths (work has a requirement of some training courses each year, and unfortunately those are the most relevant ones offered through the vendor we have a deal with).
@wizardbeard @istewart sounds like Scratch tbh
I believe OG Scratch was on top of Squeak Smalltalk, current version is on top of JavaScript.
