Origins of Low Code Development

The conversation highlights the origins of the term 'low code,' introduced by Clay Richardson and his colleague after extensive interviews at conferences. They identified a growing trend in application development that favored faster app deployment with lower financial investment, allowing for iterative testing and scaling of ideas. This shift was partly fueled by frustrations with traditional development models requiring comprehensive and lengthy processes. The introduction of low code aims to alleviate these challenges by providing a more accessible platform that accelerates development without necessitating in-depth programming skills.
