"Wrapping Up If you are a programmer don’t be upset, I don’t think your jobs are going away anytime soon.

I actually think this is a good thing because these are expanding roles, and not removing other positions like programming. It challenges the false assumption that you have to be technical to work in our field."

Nope just more people that don't know that the hell their talking about telling you what to do.

Telling you what to do? In what way?

most of those roles try to speak for the customers and a get a lot of it wrong. so you end up coding things 2 or 3 times. or they don't understand what can be done so they get out of their lane and start proposing solutions.

and don't get me started on pushes to get things done yesterday and no investment in product development. so the solutions are half backed and crap just pulls up and pulls up.

Let me know what you think. Will programming ever completely go away?

depends on what you call programming. there's a lot of no code options for a lot of use cases.

That's also a good point, programming has evolved quite a lot. No code is something I believe in, I'm interested to see how this plays out in the coming years.

Of course it won't. Who's making the tools that let people make things without programming?
