No Code is not about replacing all forms of software development. It's just about the vast majority of solutions can be done via no code platforms.
simplistically, wordpress is a no/low code platform that allows people to target all kinds of solutions. Complex issue trackers allow all kinds of workflows to be mapped. Our entire issue system / build / deployment process coordinates a number of services together, very very low code. But I feel confident I could model any number of build processes because the platforms are super flexible/powerful.
I've been watching a friend of mine who is running a vegan food box business ( https://thekaibox.co.nz/ https://thekaibox.co.nz/ ) put together the whole thing without code. It's not suuper smooth, but the whole webshop / purchasing / logistics / shipping / printing / people management etc is done with "No Code". But it's quite impressive what he can achieve, albeit with some manual steps, by connecting around 10 different pieces of software to do what he wants. I've been working with him as it always seems like he may need some custom software to make things work better. But we often brainstorm a way to do it with existing tools. The great thing is, he keeps adapting the system to match his evolving understanding of his business STRAIGHTWAY. This makes things super agile.
As platforms get better at connecting with each other it will allow more and more no code / low code solutions to be developed. I think it will be interesting to see what tools actually accidently become "no code" platforms because they build a base level of flexibility into it.
