I think this is a natural path of software development. It is getting easier and easier every year to make software on the foundation built by smart engineers.

I think this is a natural path of software development. It is getting easier and easier every year to make software on the foundation built by smart engineers. There still will be engineers that will do amazing things, but the problems the engineers will face will be harder and the problems programmers will face will be easier. Just compare creating a blog with php year 2000 and creating a blog with rails 2014. I believe that in a near future making most of the apps used by businesses will only be a matter of setting configurations. I know this is what people said in the 80s and we did not get there by 2000, but that dose not mean we will not be there in the future.
