I have to use no code automation tools at work sometimes (marketing). I have created automation that are too big to load and have crashed the platform and require help desk to go in and delete my automation and start from scratch, but would probably be a dozen lines of code, because it restricts how you use AND and OR.
so you can’t do
If (A OR B) AND (C OR D) THEN set E to true
you have to do
-
first check A
-
A is false
-
now check B
-
B is false
-
exit
-
first check A
-
A is false
-
now check B
-
B is true
-
now check C
-
C is false
-
now check D
-
D is false
-
exit
-
first check A
-
A is false
-
now check B
-
B is true
-
now check C
-
C is false
-
now check D
-
D is true
-
Check if they have E
-
they don’t have E
-
exit
-
first check A
-
A is false
-
now check B
-
B is true
-
now check C
-
C is false
-
now check D
-
D is true
-
Check if they have E
-
they have E
-
check if E is already set to true
-
it is
-
exit
-
first check A
-
A is false
-
now check B
-
B is true
-
now check C
-
C is false
-
now check D
-
D is true
-
Check if they have E
-
they have E
-
check if E is already set to true
-
it is not
-
set E to true.
Those no code automation tools drive me nuts.
I look at them and I think “oh that’s really handy” then 2 seconds after I find out it simply doesn’t have support for what I’m trying to or it’s cumbersome as fuck.
And it’s not even like I’m trying to do anything crazy either, it’s like the second you put one finger outside their perfect little use cases it all falls apart.

You can still see the subway cup in the background 😂
I actually really enjoy using Blueprints in Unreal Engine.
It feels like working with modular synths, and can get chaotic very quickly, which is honestly a ton of fun. It also forces you to have to stay organized and comment and format your blocks of code into something readable.
I made a codeless RuneScape bot 10 years ago and it looked pretty much like this picture. The main advantage ended up being that it was plug n play (so you could quickly automate something) rather than “no code”
I made a code less bot engine too. I used a modified oscillating fan motor to click my mouse to grind mining when I wasn’t home.
So you manipulated physics to turn an analog process into a digital process. I would call that extremely low-level code.

I too made a “no code” solution that looked like this… But to play poker online.
Screen reader software to read the cards. It took months to give it all the hands and positions to play from. It looked worse than this and ran on an old PC hidden under the stairs.
It paid for uni up until the point they added table captcha. I wasn’t smart enough back then to solve that one.
Doesn’t scratch advertise its self as a visual coding langauge and not a “code less game engine”
No, this is Patrick
You’ll have to use logic gates only for that one …
