I think this trend will cut both ways. I have seen engineers, including senior-level, who think their job is just to write excellent code. This breed is doomed.

I think this trend will cut both ways. I have seen engineers, including senior-level, who think their job is just to write excellent code. This breed is doomed. I have also seen juniors with amazing ideas and ability to iterate, who get that the job is delivering value to customers, who are held back by their lack of expertise in the craft. This breed will flourish. The old maxim “90% perspiration 10% inspiration” may shift as automation provides more leverage. This could be great for younger, less-entrenched, more-flexible students.
