Part 1 yes. Part 2 ... no.

'No Code' generally have a different use case. For every 'software project' there are probably 5x as many 'simpler projects' that require a basic front/backend but not much material CS knowledge, and that's where no-code shines.

'No Code' should be a euphemism for 'Didn't Need Code In The First Place'.

In other words, there's a legit level of abstraction there with it's own world of tooling etc..

Edit: I will double-down and say that within 5-7 tears, the number of 'no code' projects will be greater in number than the number of 'code' projects [1]. 'WordPress' is the original foray into this: people want to make simple sites, they don't want to have to deal with tons of tech. Shopify, is a kind of ultra 'no code' solution - arguably it's a service not a 'no code' solution but it exemplifies the potentiality of entities wanting to solve problems while not getting lost in the hey.
