Sneaky clickbait! Your entire blog is about no-code and you're selling me a Zapier course, fad you say? ;)
Jokes aside, I agree that the no-code term will slowly dissipate as we quickly move up the abstraction chain. It's nothing new either, it's been a thing since at least the 90s with Macromedia Dreamweaver with its design view and the likes (MS Frontpage anyone ;)), and PG's own lucky break with his no-code baby Viaweb in '95.
The way I see it is marketers just needed an umbrella catchword for the growing wave of startups that entered the space. Most no-code tools are your dime a dozen site builders and web spreadsheets to support simple workflows, others focus on specific pain points (think auth and payments), and a few trying to push the envelope.
My personal is take is: less CRUD apps to code, great! Most business workflows will be covered by no-code, and developers can start working on interesting problems.
I never said fads can't be helpful and even something worth jumping in on ;) My passion is building and if people build with no-code, then I'm about it. Even if someday I probably won't need the term.
Regardless, I'm not trying to get into the business of being misleading. I updated my blog post title to: "The No-code term is a fad. Here are 3 reasons why."
Bryce, in your article it's clear that you mean the term is a fad. Your post and tagline made me think the article would be about the practice of no-code.
Hey Chris - thanks for checking in. What do you mean by "it's missing a lot"? I'm a little confused! Perhaps there's a problem on the site so let me know.
I go into detail about what I mean by no-code being a fad. Mainly, that the term no-code will dissipate over time.
Gotcha, I read it as "something taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze" and then it (creating software without code) will go away.

I love what you have to say. You nailed it.

Hey @BryceV.
Maybe 🤔?
Nonsense clickbait.
Microsoft have built PowerApps.
Google has AppSheets.
Amazon launched HoneyCode.
Some fad 🧐
My apologies.

Thank you for being clear with me. I can totally understand this confusion.
I updated my blog post to be more clear: "The No-code term is a fad. Here are 3 reasons why."
I don't understand your post. It's missing a lot. Was this intentional? I ask your site headline is "Learn how to use no-code to build anything"
