Exactly! Two things come to mind:
Anecdotally and from experience, low-code tools are just another tool that developers build to make their life easier. And something interesting happens when a low-code tool gets wide adoption, usually a huge market is created to modify/customize/expand that tool. Think Wordpress, the ultimate low-code website that has created a huge demand for plugins, themes, integrations and whatnot.
Other predictions like AI is going to write code in the future... maybe we'll get some advanced, context aware code generation tools, but as far as I've have seen AI doesn't seem to have the capabilities that a good software engineer ought to have, i.e. creativity, problem solving, deciding where is a good place to compromise vs. taking the hard way...
Software development, even thought there are a lot of things that tech could improve (AI, low-code, et al), is a field that, in my opinion, needs human brains for the foreseeable future.
