Doesn't this assume that the no-code tools won't be smart enough to understand the most probably correct course of action, and to look up information automatically and to ask questions to resolve ambiguities, like what a programmer does?
Possibly. But things have a way of not working as intended. A good chunk of my time as a programmer is spent dealing with things that don't work the way I thought they would, especially at the threshold between APIs and layers of indirection. Deeply understanding a complex system to deal with problems like that seems somewhat far out of reach for LLMs from what I see today.
But that's me looking into my crystal ball, nobody can say what will or will not be possible in a given time frame. But I chose to not worry about it - new developments will probably be accompanied with new opportunities, which I can jump on even if I didn't predict them ten years before.
Sure, and soon after it will be smart know to understand the human desires that drived its creator to create no-code tools like itself in the first place, and soon after it will realize that humans should not be in charge, and then our days will be numbered.
