Go ahead - I'm ready to be down-voted again and again until folks realize it is inevitable, as is inevitable that many companies in the area of business software are going down down down.
I've observed a new trend, managers who are frequently in the wait list started to use AI to generate small local apps. They still rely on my input when it's complex, or when implementation could generate risks or need resilience and would ask for small code reviews when they are unsure of the generated code quality.
The result is win win, I have more time for high value projects the executives want to prioritize, and managers can innovate faster almost on their own.
Excel used to be, and probably still is, the primary competitor to enterprise-developed apps - a lot of businesses run on it. But, that was a locally deployed phenomenon, with an added ability to deploy it somewhere else by simply emailing the workbook to someone else.
In your organization, how do your managers turn their code into working software?
Some users with privileged access can run their app locally in cli or browser, else most softwares we work with can use custom modules in specific languages (html, css, js, dax, vb.net, perl, python, sql, etc.). Ownership and trust must be established, for example only the commercial manager has access to deploy modules to CRM. They usually are constrained to read access, unless they are informed engineering managers.
Ideally I would share pipelines to deploy static pages, or a predefined dynamic architecture. I'm wary the security risks are too great, I don't trust they would have enough time / interest to become autonomous in unconstrained environments so I didn't pursue the idea, maybe I could for static pages, or in isolated networks ..
