I appreciate the sentiment but I worked as an automation specialist before working as a software engineer. It was cool, I used a lot of Zapier, Integromat, Airtable, and other no-code tools.
But no matter how robust these tools are, and many of them are incredible - nothing will convince me that no-code will replace code in any 'real' way.
For starters, you still need technical people to use these tools and there are plenty of times where you can't do exactly what you want to do.
Also, Webflow is cool but it's far from cheap when you can host an app on Firebase for free. It's possible that these tools will become customizable enough that they can support more use cases but it seems like we're very far from that being the case.
Yeah, you're right. It's a topic that needs additional thinking. And as I said earlier, No-Code tools won't replace real coding, it will just make some tasks easier, however, there're many pitfalls
