No Code has helped me as a developer immensely.

1) It has removed me as a gatekeeper. More people can participate in the actual building of projects, that means we can build bigger things.

2) Even when I know a project can't work with a no-code tool, I still use one to prototype the project. It's so much easier to iterate on something when you've got it in your hands. I can try things and the cost is low.

3) I don't have a bunch of code to maintain, security patches to apply, or any other 'maintenance' type things. That means I can focus on high-value output.

Lastly, if I never had to program again, and all the tools did everything I needed, that would be amazing. Despite programming for 20 years, I'd happily hand it all over for the ability to simply create.
