I agree with this sentiment. I think in the long run the best solution is not going to be eliminating coding but building products that eliminate the need for unnecessary technical knowledge and lowering the bar in terms of coding expertise. I am the developer of HiveMind (crudzilla.com), it is a web app platform designed with the aim of lowering technical barrier in mind. My approach to the design of the product is to create something that people with moderate programming and web development skills can use to build high quality web apps. That means for instance being able to integrate the work of a more sophisticated developer with the ease of drag-n-drop and "fill in the blank" type workflows. But ultimately the end users still needs to know how to code. The allure of eliminating the need for coding is one that has been around for a long time and continues to be attractive to businesses but it is a misguided approach that doesn't work. I worked for an employer that peddles a product that claims to require no coding, instead you end up filling out forms until your fingers hurt because you are essentially coding in a convoluted manner.
