no code will increase alongside ai, developers won't have jobs in the future. it'll be interfaces where the system builds it's solution okay after you tell it what you want. basically jit on steroids

I will have to see it to believe it. 4GL promised the same thing. I actually look forward to the day happening when I become a farrier in the car age. A lot of people smarter than me will turn from code hopefully to hard science and we can start advancing again.
Do you think science is stagnating because React jobs are sucking the firehose of smart hard-working people?
Fortran also promised the same thing.
all of the no code creations I have seen posted on this site in the past month are incredibly slow and sluggish. Sometimes even straight up buggy, for instance that font compare picker thing, would sometimes load no font (null) on the left side. As a paradigm, it has a long road to go.

If people really think that no code is acceptable, then I am going to cry. It won't be an improvement.

Yes. It's not about improvement, it's about ease of use and reduction of work, or: convenience. That convenience is going to bite an incredible number of people from behind and send a lot of businesses spiraling.
Will there really be a no code, or is that just moving the level of abstraction one more level higher... While still needing occasional coding to solve those bits that aren't available...
The bad developers won't, the good ones will. It's going to be very lucrative to know your stuff when nobody understands what the no code approach is doing under the hood.
