The laws of scale are stone cold bitches, and so you really don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind is blowing. By 2030 writing code by hand in an IDE will almost certainly be a curiosity for retro enthusiasts, like programming a C64 in BASIC is now. The field as a profession will be unrecognizable and, as things become more automated and even self-improving, have far fewer people working in it, by 2030.
