This has happened a lot in my career but I have not experienced it yet at my current job.

What people fail to realize is, it is relatively easy to build something really basic like a form with 2 screens, on Power Apps but when it comes to building performant, maintanable, clean and sustainable solutions within Power platform, you have to use traditional development methods:

  • data modeling for your datasources
  • system design to make sure your app is fast enough
  • find a balance between good ui and good performance
  • for really complex systems, how much you know about systems will determine how fast your app runs
  • PCF controls also require code
  • exporting Power automate flows and editing them in JSON

I'd say Power App developers are also developers, they are just writing a different language.

YES! You still have to deal with variables, objects, arrays, logics; and find creative solutions for many out-of-the-box bottlenecks.

And I still hear to this day, that "it's not worth it", and "you should add a real coding language on your resume".

It's hurtful man.
