You know, I truly hope that's true. At the same point, that has been the mantra for a while. Back in the 80's, when I was but a wee lass, as it came time to choose a college path, my uncle warned me not to get into software engineering because his buddies at IBM told me that it'd be all automated away in the next decade. 4GLs happened, but the work didn't really become less. (And 5GL spectacularly face-planted) In the 90s, we got widespread adoption of the Internet and search engines, and the prognosis was we'd just be able to look up everything. In the aughts, it was javascript & frameworks that were going to eat everybody's lunch. In the 2010s, did we ever build fancy linear regressions^W^W^W machine learning solutions. We always talk about how that somehow would reduce the work, but instead we continue to build barely maintainable mountains of complexity at the outer edge of what we can handle. I wish you success. I'm not holding my breath it'll significantly reduce software engineering work. It'll shift what we do, no doubt. I'd be surprised if this is the decade where we make a significant dent. We'll just heap on more complexity.
