Programmers are essential to the modern business, and management absolutely hates that. It is very easy to extract money from the market, by promising management that they’ll no longer be dependent on programmers. Code free, no code, visual development tool, rapid application development etc. has been a promised since the sixties or so. Ever since the first programmer said “Hey this skill is pretty rare, I should get a nice raise”, have the bosses been saying “Free us from needing programmers, and we’ll pay whatever you want”
