That is the question
So here is the question we all have rode about: Should designers code? Whenever I saw this, I used to think in the opposite: Should developers design? Or just think in the song: ‘Should I code or should I go?’ ;D
Anyway, markets, digital landscapes and job titles change fast and many of us are discovering NoCode movement slowly. I wonder about designers using NoCode tools, so Should designes NoCode?
Thinking about profiles
Let´s think first about profiles: What should do a NoCode Designer? We should check if it fits into any of the many design job titles such as: ux designers, ui designers, product designers, visual designers, business designers, stategy designers, service designers, content designers, data driven designers, design technologist, learning experience designers, etc. disregarding rockstars, magicians, gurus, dragons, ninjas, prophets, evangelists, astronauts, unicorns and so on (see more at DesignTitles)
Looking into NoCode tools
So who is NoCode for? Designers? Developers? Marketers? Mixed profiles? We can have a look to a couple of NoCode tools compilations:
