I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding from people that do not know how to program "in the large". Real programming is actually heavily reliant on human creativity and synthesis. Just like good visual design. Programmers are always automating and we are succeeding at it. Many tasks and roles have been eliminated in the last ten years by better tools and services. Designers don't really do that, they get better tools to better represent their vision from...programmers. I think design and art is crucial and the people that do it well are critical. But not as critical as the people that support the entire ecosystem. If I were to say who would rule anything, it would be mathematicians, in every domain of knowledge - even design - mathematics is the ultimate intellectual tool to express abstraction, cardinal to the act of automating and reducing.
