If only this were true.
In my experience business people have a hard time defining logic to the level of granularity that a developer requires.
Even if it's simply a matter of wiring things up, you'd essentially require the developer mindset / training to understand how to wire everything up to accomplish the business objective.
Not to mention knowing exactly what tools to do this in and ensuring any new systems can talk with older ones etc.
Developer jobs aren't going anywhere, it may get quicker to accomplish a task but you're still going to need people who understand the finer details and are able to take a human requirement and break it down and wire things up.
- nightski 5y agoThis aligns with my 10 year experience as a consultant working with C suite level executives as well. The people I have worked with are extremely smart and have incredible knowledge about their business. They can think through the happy path quite well. But when it comes to edge cases, error handling, and detailed logic they generally do not have the education/training to think about this properly. I've converted a few access databases in my day which were surprisingly sophisticated yet the lack of rigor was very transparent. There were good reasons they needed to transition to software written by a developer.
