"Programmers" is ill defined. Once it meant translating maths and engineering specs for assemblers. Now it can mean anything from someone writing verified and audited device drivers for robotics to designers a/b testing retail workflows. In the last century, 'programming' became a major economic and technological field of activity.
To think some new 'programming' tool will make it shrink is not at all warranted. Tools that make computer programming more accessible, more flexible and more powerful will increase demand for people who can reason about it, work on it, teach it, evaluate it etc etc.
