It's a very interesting discussion here. I can understand both positions. It's really a chicken-egg game.
But imo there is a huge game changer: AI.
It has become way more simple and fast to write code. I am also not aware of the plans/roadmap of TB. But with the new AI tools, it's even possible for no coders to start modifying some stuff. Ofc it's always better, if you have some basic coding knowledge, otherwise you might mess things up. Even if you aren't brave enough to use AI yourself: I would guess, that prices for a custom module will come down a lot.
@datakick what is your experience with AI these days? I would say it has speed up my developing work about 3-5 times. It's hard to tell, but it's for sure huge. The first time I have the feeling, that my todo-list may become shorter 🫣
