Will Low-Code and No-Code merge into a single market segment for both enterprise-class and user-friendly developers?
Today's businesses are implementing enriching their operations with capabilities little by little on a variety of different products. But the trend is clear before you know it, the distinction between tools that are powerful enough for professional development teams and to be simple enough for citizen developers.
[...] Before heading, let's identify the distinct functions of low code and no code in app development, by bifurcating them.
[...] Low Code: Low code is a development move that automates time-consuming manual processes, without manual coding, using a visual IDE environment, which is automation that connects to backends, and application management system.
No code: In the same way as low-code platforms, no code platform uses a visual application system that allows users to create applications without coding. Usually this includes drag and drop functions. An example of this is Salesforce CRM, which enables people with coding skills to code, and those who don't have those skills can build simple apps without using the system.
[...] Artificial intelligence (AI) is soon to be the most disruptive. Some providers are already integrating AI into their Low-Code / No-Code platforms for various purposes. For example, AI can help address the most complex challenges of integrating with semi-structured and unstructured data sources.
[...] Not only do several IT people fear their jobs, but the Low-Code / No-Code also threatens their credibility.

If all you need to code is that which has been coded before, no code options are possible and very much the way to go.
If you are developing new or original thoughts - no code solutions won't exist, and low code solutions are unlikely (unless your original thoughts are very simple...)
Different tool for different use cases. Generally, when I start coding something it's because nothing available does what I want the way I want it done.

Clarke's third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Adrian's corollary: The same is true for what that advanced technology provides: processor cycles per unit of time and/or amounts of memory indirection.
That is all.
