>Most people would be able to assemble a simple app covering many of their needs just by dictating to their phones what would they expect to see and pre-baked LEGO blocks will be applied Most people don't need an app. Generally, businesses with intent on making profit need an app. Even then, the app is usually just an interface to the real beast driving business value hidden behind a DMZ in the cloud. Even if an application becomes autogenerated, a developer will have more time to focus on the rest of the flow that delivers value. My point is that as engineers, we build systems using ever improving tools. I don't think we should fear AI and Machine learning, but embrace it and work at higher abstractions to solve even better problems. I would say a javascript developer might become obsolete, just as a flash developer did. But an engineer focusing on end to end systems who uses javascript won't.
