No. I have worked as a programmer for 40 years. During that time predictions that programming would get automated away or made so simple anyone could do it have come around many times. Writing code that passes tests is just one part of programming, and not even the hardest part. I wouldn’t worry about it. AI may simplify some tasks and give us new tools, but I don’t see human programmers going away. Demand for skilled programmers is higher than ever.
