Software has an increasingly large impact on people's lives - including their safety. Consider [ransom attacks on hospitals](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/hamstrung-by-ransomware-10-hospitals-are-turning-away-some-patients/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/hamst...) as just one example. Even ignoring bad actors, people have made billion-dollar mistakes in Excel (there was even a recent article about how contact-tracing data being handled in Excel was lost. That can lead to real deaths, too).
No-code is great when it improves someone's ability to complete a task. Excel is still a great program, and learning VBA was my first introduction to programming. What isn't great is when companies lean on low/no-code solutions because they want to be cheap rather than do things properly.
