Perhaps relevant: https://xkcd.com/2501/ https://xkcd.com/2501/ A year or two ago, building a passable app was for the average person 100% impossible. The average person has never written code beyond "hello world," and that might have only been for a school project. Programming is not exclusively corporate mingling. I'll give that the things you describe might be necessary for sufficiently large projects, but I'd also argue that the majority of code that exists is in the smaller projects, and the average person cannot grapple with even the smallest project. Now those smaller things are accessible to the average person when they simply weren't before. The skill ceiling of programming is still very high. The skill floor has been irreversibly raised and the skill curve forever smoothed, even if only slightly.
