Prerequisites
A clear spec prompt — you know what to build
No coding required — browser + account only
Prerequisites
Comfort with visual flow builders
API basics: what a webhook is, what JSON looks like
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of a programming language
Terminal (CLI) + git — comfort with your dev environment
Limits to know
Custom logic or 3rd-party APIs get awkward fast
Export your code early to avoid vendor lock-in
Limits to know
Zapier / Make pricing scales steeply with task volume
Not the right layer for building user-facing UIs
Limits to know
Steep setup — eats a whole session if you're new to it
You must still review, test, and own the code it writes
▸ Quick pick — choose based on your situation right now
✦
Reach for No-code when…
Pre-product or pre-PMF · no dev on team · need something live in <2 hours · UI over data, no custom logic · where today's session lives
⇄
Step up to Low-code when…
Your bottleneck is between tools, not inside one · doing the same manual handoff 10+ times/week · need AI to trigger actions in your existing stack
◈
Graduate to Pro-code when…
No-code hits a wall · developer on team (or you are one) · product must scale, be tested, and be fully owned · setup time isn't a constraint
