Much earlier in my career I built an entire business converting MS-Access database/forms solutions that were created by non-developers/end-users to solve a particular problem without involving IT folks, most of them 'sort-of' worked, but only up until the point things got complicated, or the requirements changed, or it needed to scale and nobody (the non-developers) could figure out how or even realized their entire foundation was built on quicksand. (I would generally convert them to true .net client/server applications with MS-SQL Server as the back-end or web front-ends with a proper database on the back).
I suspect there is another opportunity coming along to make some good money bailing out folks who built 'no code' solutions that their business now depends on, but no longer meets the needs and has become to fragmented and complicated to tinker with and difficult to change, scale or adapt.
That said, I am not opposed to no-code - it is a good and often inexpensive way to solve some problems, or at least get a POC working - many of those solutions may never need to scale or adapt.
...but some will, and thus the coming opportunity.
