I feel less like I'm asking to stop space discovery until we fix Earth, and more like I'm cautioning against the claims of crystal healing and homeopathy. I would have no issue with a well-conducted, good-faith research study into crystal healing -- after all, simply coating a surface in silver dramatically increases its anti-bacterial properties, so clearly some "dark-ages alchemy" level claims are actually true. But with our current priors, given a random claim about crystal healing, what is the probability it's backed by solid research vs. the probability it's quackery? Similarly with no-code. Should we stop trying to build no-code solutions? No. In fact there are limited used cases where it goes well, such as the Blender material designer. But with our current priors and given a random claim about what some no-code solution will be able to do, the probability it's BS is very, very high. Maybe that's actually the answer: the place for no-code is not in replacing general-purpose programming languages, but in small, limited-purpose DSLs like shader languages (and even then, only in specific contexts). SQL is an example of such a thing, so if someone came out and said "I have a great no-code solution that's meant to replace annoying repetitive SQL queries in a limit set of circumstances", I would take that person much more seriously.
