Is there a nocode/lowcode builder that makes sense to software engineers?

I have 30 years of software engineering experience, front end, back end, middle tier, database, and systems level. I'm looking for an app builder that lets me build low-value software quickly -- apps that aren't for external use, or are short-lived, or need to be built in collaboration with non-technical people. I've been hitting my head against WeWeb and Bubble -- and none of the others look to be any better. I tried deep-diving into weweb and immediately hit the wall. I can't make sense of it at all, it just doesn't seem to be designed for building anything that I would want to build. I assume that it CAN, but it seems to be built for someone who doesn't know anything about building software, so they have nothing to "unlearn". I have too much to unlearn before I can make sense of it. I might keep trying.

So... are there any software engineers out there? Is there a tool that you can wrap your head around? Something that you were able to start using quickly, and maybe didn't trap you in a cage when it got complex?
