What will be the future of High code technology?

I'll gladly share a tweet from AStratelates on this, which imo hits the nail on the head:

It's the 1950s. COBOL promises an English-like syntax that will allow non-specialists to program software systems, 10x productivity and not needing to understand the underlying system.

It’s the 1970s. SQL promises natural language queries that managers can write themselves, "just tell the database what you want, not how to get it" and "no more dependency on programmers for data access."

It's the 1990s. Visual Programming tools promise "program without coding", "drag and drop your way to enterprise applications", and "development at the speed of thought".

It's the 2000s. MDA promises "design once, deploy anywhere", "business users can modify the models", and "automatically generate perfect code from UML diagrams".

It's the 2010s. No-Code platforms promise "anyone can build an app", "eliminate the middleman between business and technology", and "goodbye IT department".

It's the 2020s. Vibe Coding promises "just describe what you want in natural language", "no programming knowledge required", and "focus on what your software should do, not how it works".

The future of High code technology involves a great importance for complex and highly customized software solutions, while low code and no code platforms are popular for simpler and faster app developments. But, High code is still vital for businesses looking for fine tuned applications. Recent advances in AI driven tools or automation will enhance high code development, but human expertise in coding will still play an important role.
