The past 30 years have seen a huge explosion in incidental complexity of programming. Programmers are currently very well paid understand and manage this incidental complexity. Unfortunately, because of this high compensation, they are also most responsible for perpetuating incidental complexity (framework churn, GUI design fads, build systems, etc.). Non-programmer professionals are adept at handling essential complexity. LLMs give some hope of closing the gap between "user" and "programmer" by managing the pain of incidental complexity.
