This is more or less my take. I came in on Web 1.0 when "real" programmers were coding in C++ and I was mucking around with Perl and PHP. This just seems like just the next level of abstraction. I don't forsee a "traders all disappeared" situation like the top comment, because at the end of the day someone needs to know WHAT they want to build. So yes, less junior developers and development looking more like management/architecting. A lot more reliance on deeply knowledgable folks to debug the spaghetti hell. But also a lot more designers that are suddenly Very Successful Developers. A lot more product people that super-charge things. A lot more very fast startups run by some shmoes with unfundable but ultimately visionary ideas. At least, that's my best case scenario. Otherwise: SkyNet.
