The first time I encountered something that called itself "no-code" was when the internet portal I worked for (Remember those?) decided to offer a "webpage builder" for its users. I didn't work on it, but just looking at the limited webpages you could build with it, how all of those were basically just our best practices, and how the amount of code needed to support the builder was just massive compared to the code it generated, it was pretty clear to me that my job security wasn't threatened.

Every single solution like this has an edge, a limitation, and when you reach that edge, the answer is always "well, you can edit the code directly if you know what you're doing..."

It's exactly as you say, every solution like this can do the already mapped parts of programming, but they are fundamentally incapable of being used for the unmapped parts, the woods, the edges, the limits.
