"If you're writing custom code in a no-code tool, you're doing it wrong" is purist nonsense that ships worse products.

This myth shames people for dropping an embed or a custom attribute, as if the goal was code purity instead of a working site. The best no-code builders treat custom code as a scalpel: one snippet for a slider library the platform lacks, a data attribute to trigger an interaction, a webhook to glue two tools. That's not failure — that's knowing exactly where the no-code boundary is and stepping over it on purpose.

The correction: 5% custom code is mastery, not defeat. Agree? Or am I wrong?
