Weebly, Wix, Yola, etc... People can make their own websites now - They don't need web developers. Some bigger firms with more advanced requirements might still need web developers but 90% of websites don't require that much skill anymore.
I think the entire software development profession is under threat. I think in the not-so-distant future, there will be drag-and-drop UI tools for businesses to build their own application frontends and they will hook them up into various plug-and-play backend services for a monthly fee (without hosting their own servers).
The only software developers/engineers remaining will be the ones working for backend service (e.g. BaaS) providers - The others will be designers.
