Curious what you guys think, I always thought coding is like scribing in the 13th century where a large percentage of population is illiterate and scribers are relegated to imperial quarters to take note of the empire's history and accounting. However, better education system (programs to teach kids and adults coding) and improved accessibility of writing process from carving on stone tablets to ink on paper (better toolchains and the ubiquity of smartphones and computers) led to mass literacy rates. Scribers (CRUD web apps written using CGI/Java 1.5) are therefore commoditized and become from emperor's scribes to Bartleby the clerk (CRUD using Rails and Node). Thus writing becomes less a lucrative profession to literature where you have 1% rockstars authors who rely on marketing and a huge popular following to generate hits (e.g., startup's that rely on the charisma of the "founder myth" to raise money, but have the lifecycle of a reality TV show and the whims of the consumer taste; Friendster to Myspace to Facebook ("Zuckerburg") to Snapchat; Napster to iTunes to Spotify to Tidal ("Jay-Z")). Now suppose you are the 99% Bartleby the scrivener, what are you to do, other than to say, "I prefer not to..."?
