RPA seems to be the biggest area where this is currently popular. The "citizen developer" bullshit they're pushing IMO sounds good on paper but will lead to fragile bots that end up falling apart and not being properly maintained at scale. I can't imagine handing someone with no programming experience UiPath or whatever and having them basically deploying software directly to production. As far as I know there isn't a "code first" approach to this set of problems but there probably ought to be as someone who can't write code isn't likely to produce a high enough quality product even with a dumb downed drag and drop tool to make it worth it.
