I disagree. We don't need people with craftman skills, or better to say, we shouldn't need. Because once you can define what is craft, then computer can be programmed to do it.

At work, I still code in (mainframe) assembler sometimes. It's a craft, but it has been largely replaced by compilers. Where it cannot be replaced by compiler (which is definitely not the case of my job), it becomes engineering.
