15 years ago, to release a new version, we were having to do multiple steps, involving many people. From source control server to build server then production server.
5 years ago, we automated many steps. Testers dont have to doing boring repeat UI tests, they will write testcase so it will be tested automatically on different platforms. Sysadmins don’t have to stay 24/7 to deploy changes manually.
Last year, we automated more CI/CD steps, things went smoothly, less human faults, release faster & safer.
With Github actions, we just need to put steps in the the workflow, configure it. We deploy without a single bash code.
So yes, no-code not only helps end-users, it helps also developers.

I wish I had all these modern tools when I was doing automated testing 7 years ago.
Now, I can just create and run an automated test on any browser in the cloud, even Safari:
Of course, we just usually start them with the API or with the GitHub Action.
That's just one area where it's more pleasant to be a developer today than it was 7-10 years ago.
