Of course, AI is a lot more powerful than no-code, but the "End of Programming" suffers from the same delusion. If AI can reliably make every decision around engineering, design, and product, it would be capable of doing every task in the world. It's surprising that so many engineers believe writing things in plain text would obviate the need to learn programming.
