> * No-code tools are still no further along mainstream adoption than 2012
In 200 years, people will still be predicting the rise of no code solutions.
If you are executing diagrams and schematics, you still have code. And the people maintaining that code are still coding. That is, they are coders. They're just working in a whole new stack that doesn't have git, diff, a variety of editors, open standards for encoding, etc.
There's no such thing as no-code, it's just a question of the properties of the coding scheme. For example C.S. Peirce proposed a turing-complete "no-code" graphical logic (aka programming) language[1] in the 19th century.
This is true, and there are also coders today who's code does not run on computers, but in people's heads as the implementation of diagrams and schematics.
