"Writing code will become less and less necessary, making software development more accessible to everyone." I heard that same argument 30 years ago. "4G" and "expert systems" and "application generators" and "visual programming" were going to do away with the "engineering" aspect of software engineering. However, in reality, we write more complex code for a simple business app now than ever before. Once hard AI can extract requirements and transform them to systems, we can retire from coding, but probably not before then.
