As far as I can tell, this is an advertisement for QuickBase. I can't tell from this article or their homepage how they are replacing code, but it sounds like they're trying to fill the niche of Microsoft Excel and Access, letting a semi-technical user specify limited queries and behavior. Letting more users access the data they need is a laudable goal, but of course there will always be some need for the kind of precisely specified behavior that you get from code. "The Future of Some Software Is No Code" might be a more appropriate title.
