Well, what does it mean to be a coder? If what you care about is the result, then whether you achieve it with code or with a GUI shouldn't matter; after all, you're (hopefully) building a career around your domain-specific skills, not your proficiency with certain tools.

And if your domain is the code, then as certain fields become more accessible to users without coding skills (probable more knowledgeable in the field than us coders, because this is their domain), then we'll simply have to say "we did a good job here" and move on to the next frontier, which may well be the no-code tools themselves, or simply a new field where tooling is not on such a high level yet.

There'll always be something to code out there, it's simply a matter of leaving our comfort zone and deciding what we actually care about.
