IMHO, the best fusion of the two is offering a no-code tool to non-technical folks... while ensuring you have a tiger team of random and varied developers to produce one-off duct tape bits to cover gaps for them.

It seems far more efficient to have a non-technical person fiddle with a GUI, get most of the way on data integration, etc., and then come to the team with only the parts they couldn't figure out.

"I have this list of strings and I need to X" or "I need to push data to this API"

We did something similar at a previous job, and it generally worked out well. The code assistance kept people from constructing Rube Goldberg machines in the designer tool, to solve simple coding problems that the tool couldn't cover.
