Outside of tech, I think coding means green text on a black background--but I think of it more generally, describing a process that you want something/someone else to run... a cooking recipe for someone to follow, it's CODE! So yeah, to that end, visual programming is still coding. AI that generates code, well, you still have to tell the AI what to do, still coding--on that tangent, if AI code generation ever is perfected, I'd rather work in that language, and not even look at the output like assembly. I really want visual programming to succeed, but there's something fundamentally harder with it. I'm starting to think written language can't be beat for expressing thought. Visual programming is probably a great introduction to computer programming for people to quickly automate simple tasks, but I rest assured that as soon as they want to describe any complex process, they're going to fall into written language like the rest of us--or do lots of copying and pasting and create a mess. To write is to think, I think.
