IMO, the hope is that tooling can somehow obviate the need for 10x programmers (and their annoying salary requirements) by putting enough guard rails in place. But the reality is additional layers of abstraction all come at a cost (computational/cognitive), systems thinking is still required (the core trait of effective programmers), and, most importantly, great programs aren't made by distilling current best practices into tools.
As much as the industry tries, it can't replicate hard-won experience.
