Coding is a means of getting something done. They are just set of instructions that computers can process. So technically, there is an argument to be made that tomorrow we could have a new way of creating instructions for computers and not through human coding? Who knows. Just like when cars replaced horses, it did not change the fact that people still need to travel. Just the "how they travel" part changed.

Though, unless we can create some self-refining process to create software automatically, some group of people must be creating it. Unless another group, other than software engineers, would be better and more able to apply their current skills to whatever coding becomes in the future, it is more likely that it will simply just be software engineers refining the way they work, rather than being replaced by a different group of professionals.
