I am reading every day that "low-code" and "no-code" are coming (they are already there). Basically, anyone will be able to make more apps and more websites with very little coding knowledge, or none at all.
Creating an app or a website will be as easy as opening an Airbnb:
Step 1: register on the platform.
Step 2: watch the educational video
Step 3: do your thing
What do you think about this? Do you agree?
Obviously, I'm not saying you'll be able to create a computer OS with no-code. There will still be a need for people to write "complicated" software (defense, industrial).
Simply, the barrier of entry to the creation of digital assets will be drastically lowered. I read about a guy creating an Airbnb copycat with a no-code tool.
So here's my bet. As a contrarian, I look at the place people are running to and where they're running from (in this case, from Mainstreet to digital) and take the opposite way. I think the best opportunities at the moment are in the brick-and-mortar, for the simple reason that everyone has gone digital.
I'll give an example:
In Poland, I saw a shoes and bags shop installed at the front of a warehouse, in a mall. Customers come in, choose the bag or pair of shoes they want to try on the website of the shop accessible through giant touchscreens. An employee goes get the pair of shoes/bag. The customer tries it out.
It's smart, as it reconciles the best of both worlds:
- Choice
- Affordable prices
- The possibility to try the shoes/bags in real life
- The possibility to buy online anyway
Here's a picture:
Ok maybe it already exists in the US, but I had never seen this before.
Anyway, this leads me to wonder what will be the next "code"?
The next skill enabling those that learn it to create great value on a massive scale?
Find below some ideas:
Web-design: now that you can drag and drop, can you actually drag and drop elements in a way that makes sense, is simple, and looks pretty?
Graphic-design: The recent craze about NFTs and the extreme digitalization of everything will increase the need for people that can design digital environments in a nice way. I think VR will eventually be coming too, and we'll need people to design all of these environments.
3D-design: 3D-printers are coming, and those that can design practical/original objects will be happy to quickly test their market then launch their product on a big scale.
Engineering: you can't yet create hardware like you create software.
Social: as people move increasingly into the digital world, they lose their social skills. The ability to relate to people (customers) and create win-win situations to resolve conflicts will be increasingly in demand in a society headed towards extreme narcissism, selfishness, and instant-gratification.
Everything manual: electricity skills, plumbers, carpenter, butchers, bakers, chefs...are not going away any time soon.
Can you think of anything else?
