What if digital and marketing teams could really launch amazing web apps without needing developers? That's the promise of low-code and no-code platforms. The interesting paradox is the extensive engineering required to create and maintain them. That's what makes this work so interesting: freeing developers to work on challenging problems while enabling others to achieve more powerful results.

Alex Howard is the lead engineer behind that process at Brandcast, and in this episode Ledge and Alex discuss the engineering challenges of simplifying (and democratizing) web development, balancing your workflow as engineer, and not painting yourself into a technical debt corner with features when you're building really complex, and innovative tools.
