"Why waste your time learning code when you can chat with an agent?" -- the non techies

Anyone Can Build An App
IDE + LLM + tools + NLP
or even better
an all-in-one platform: Replit, Lovable, etc.
Death of Computer Languages?
Who needs Python or Java when you can just use a visual interface and a chat to ship your tool?

The Rise of the Citizen Developer
Now that everyone can build software, what makes YOU so special?
The New Heroes of Apps
Move over, software engineers. The new heroes of software development are the ones who never wrote a line of code in their lives.
The Future is Now
No-code/low-code platforms are already here, and they're only going to get more powerful. Are you ready?
Scenario 1: The Marketing Department is Taking Over
What do you mean the marketing team can build their own landing pages and email campaigns now?
Scenario 2: CFO is a Developer
Great news, everyone!
The CFO just vibe coded a budgeting app.
Time to update your resumes.
Scenario 3: The CEO is a Drag-and-Drop Prodigy
Your CEO just built an entire e-commerce platform from a mobile app in a weekend. What have you been doing all this time?
The Rise of No-Dev
Low dev and No-dev tools are rapidly gaining popularity, with more and more companies adopting these technologies.


Agentic AI is No-Code++
When No-code platforms promise to turn any idea in working apps, Agentic AI allows non-technical people to hire "virtual" teams
AI’s next big leap
planning + memory + agents
The Challenges of No-Dev
As all new powerful tools, they require new skills and mindsets to be successful, and can present challenges for organizations used to traditional software development methods.

The Impact on Developers
No-code++, aka Agentic AI has the potential to significantly disrupt the software development industry, and developers will need to adapt to remain relevant.
The Opportunities for Developers
While no-code / Agentic AI platforms may threaten some traditional development roles, they also present new opportunities for developers to leverage their expertise in new and innovative ways.
Career Opportunities with Agentic AI
Project requirements
Agentic AI can help you write, refine and estimate:
1. feature requests
2. user stories
3. maintenance tasks


Joining the ecosystem
Writing MCP servers as the glue between Agents and existing systems, we can speed up time to deliver, shrink idea to test delay. The more "what if", the closer to market fit.

Boosting QA and best practices
Using NoCode in "Agentic AI" mode can constraint genAI to stick harder practices than most human could do it:
1. write tests first
2. apply craftmanship practices
3. loop until tests/coverage is enough
4. continuous update of documentation


Building an Agentic AI Product
NoCode can also be embraced by developers who build their own platform as a product to help regular humans ship apps.
We’re going to see 10-person companies with billion-dollar valuations pretty soon…in my little group chat with my tech CEO friends there’s this betting pool for the first year there is a one-person billion-dollar company, which would’ve been unimaginable without AI. And now [it] will happen. (sam altman)
