Coding is just the last step in providing a solution to a need. It arguably should be automated away.
What we humans do which is of great value is understanding problems and needs, considering known and possible unknown constraints, and finding a balanced solution which hopefully best meets the need.
Ironically, since most problems are described by humans (who tend not to be great at communicating), that big phase where we attempt to understand the real need is difficult and likely impossible for a computer to ever do. Just look at how underwhelming and frustrating current digital assistants are…
I look forward to being able to specify a class of need and some details and allowing the computer to code an implementation.
