Discussion on: With No Code Builders, Why Should Clients Hire a Developer?

If any client can simply open up an account on a no-code builder, drag and drop a few components until they're happy with the design, click 'Publish' and call it a day, how is there possibly any hope for developers and web designers?

This actually makes me wonder if most web developers who fear being replaced by simple GUIs are even aware of the deep end of programming. Surely people must know that there's many developers out there who actually have a much more complex job than what could be easily automated, or so one should think, but the constant barrage of articles asking whether developers™ will be replaced does make it seem like many, in fact, think all programming is trivial and can be automated.

Whether or not this is actually a threat isn't even a question I'd normally consider if it weren't for half the observable internet apparently worrying about it.
