This was a follow up question to my response on, What is a draw-back of no code solutions?

Are we going to start seeing “no-code developers” emerge? [Threads] [Web Archive]

That is a distinct possibility that we cannot rule out. Already, we are talking about Prompt Engineering as a speciality. So, no-code developers may indeed be a job title in our (far? near?) future. Although: for such jobs to emerge, we might need a community of no-code devs that are speaking the same language. In other words, I think we will need some level of standardization in No-code tooling that looks like tech stacks today in Python/Javascript. Entirely possible!

Quick follow up: that there are entire jobs (say in sectors like Finance and Accounting) that need you to be a maven in Excel. In some ways, being that good with spreadsheeting tools like Excel, is no different than programming with Java or Swift. In that way, Excel may have been the very first “No-code Standard” that created an entire economy of problem solvers who are not programmers in the classical sense.
