I think "no code" is a misguided project, a rebel without cause.
The purpose of programming is to tell the computer what to do. To tell someone or something what to do you have to "talk to" them. You need some language to do that. And when you are talking to a computer, the languages they understand are called programming languages, in other words "code".
Another way of looking at is that English is code as well. It is code we use to communicate with humans.
Now maybe there is some visual language that could be used to communicate with a computer effectively, but then that is a language too, and thus is code.
What "no-code" could ultimately be is a system where the computer asks you to choose from set of options and based on your choices incrementally generates a program, a bit like when you install Linux it asks you a set of questions, and you answer and in the end you have a working system which you created without talking in code, unless yes/no is considered a trivial (binary) code as well. But it is a very limited set of programs you can create that way in a limited time.
