I desperately want this to be true, but at least in my sector, it isn't. You still need talented and knowledgable programmers, but they don't do very much programming. Its all code review, infrastructure, devops.
At least for a small business, users are catching on that they can build a dirty app that gets them what they specifically want, instead of relying on some paid software to give everyone a little bit of what they want. Partially this suggests I'm just in the wrong sector, but it is absolutely happening.
I dont' think this matters to Google or Amazon, they can't be replaced. But small businesses are a different story.
And the result of all this? We need to heavily rely on AI, so that we can outpace individual users in delivering what they want. I hate it, I didn't give the order, but I do see the writing on the wall. This workflow is miserable, it sucks the fun out of the job, but unfortunately it really is faster. And small businesses rely on the income coming in next year, not in 5 years.
As a side note, I also think users are becoming extremely used to having a chatbot do everything for them. Every site is going to have one, and apps that don't will fall behind.
I'd like to be on a different multiverse timeline honestly
