Code costs trending to zero won't kill no-code. The cost of verifying, reproducing, and auditing outputs rises at the same time. The two stack as layers rather than competing as alternatives.
Three months after first opening Claude Code on Lunar New Year, I started by building everything in parallel, then nobody came, then I returned to my own pain point — a news-collection workflow. The same sequence shows up everywhere at meetups.
The canvas commoditizes, but the builder market explodes. What ends is not the builder — it's the premise that the canvas is where value lives.
