Many things that come next isn't programming as we know it.

Already today, see SaaS products for content management, CMS and no-code frontend.

There is zero programming, what one ends up doing is configuring SaaS products to connect among themselves, plug data sources, have AI algorithms process marketing data, export a generated UI into Vercel/Nelify and that is about it for 90% of customers.

For all those SaaS products today, you see legions of consultants, system integration projects, a cottage industry for customizations...

The skills aren't irrelevant.

True, but it isn't programming.
