Is there future for zerocoding?

Who is going to write the software to make no-code work? :D I learned how hard it is to build product from my Facebook days, and It's going to take a lot of engineering work to build, maintain, improve no-code tools. I think this will take a self-driving-car path. There will be a few examples of full automated no-code solutions that are successful under specific circumstance (ex. Cruise, WayMo) but a lot of the benefit of no-code will be taking pieces of no-code tools and thinking and enhancing the current coding experience. I used to code in Vim with no tools and was the highest output engineer at Facebook. Now I use Visual Studio which is like using the "lane assist" feature on my car. I'm driving, but it helps keep me between the lanes. Maybe in the future I'll be inputting my ideas in thoughts, or words for really small pieces of code, and the tools will produce the actual code based on my other code samples.
