"No code" is code you don't control. Simple abstractions are a superpower, but you need to able to peel them off when the situation requires it.

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.

How do you suggest we start climbing the cliff? Let’s say for instance that you are working on python at a higher level and low-level code is c/c++?

Some enterprise vendors live off of selling you that cliff, and then renting you team of sherpas to haul you back up in a stretcher, over years of engagements.
