> That’s the potential of no-code: making it easier for people to do more with computers without needing to know how to program.<p>This is the critical argument against no-code, the one argument omitted from the article: No-code doesn't make programming go away. Any time you have graphical flowchart symbols or whatever specific enough for a computer to execute, you have something isomorphic to a computer programming language. Except it's more difficult to change, maintain, move around, read or edit with different tools, version control, etc. No-code <i>is</i> programming, with extra hassle. And the hardness doesn't go away -- in fact, businesses that adopt no-code tools so their marketers or managers can create automation tasks, tend to throw those tasks over the wall to the software engineers once their original authors find that programming is hard and they have much better things to do with their time than debug flowcharts.
