Two anti-patterns: 1. The blackbox. You've outsourced critical logic to a thing you can't open at all. 2. The cliff: you can open the box, but understanding what's inside requires a completely different set of mental models and skills. Like driving vs repairing a car.

Requiring users to have low-level expertise is also an anti-pattern (insufficient abstraction). The best model to follow is "progressive disclosure of complexity": a hierarchy of levels of abstraction where each level builds on top of the previous one in an incremental way.

Successful abstractions become invisible (for most people). "No code" is just a label calling out the hoped-for target state.

Exactly what I think when my team needs the help of a dev to publish a blog article in an unmaintained WordPress where there are more add-ons than in the average package.json

Exactly right. All abstractions are leaky, and in over 30 years of software development I’ve never seen a single instance where a team didn’t need to reach deep into a system or framework to make some critical part of their solution work.
