I already see this happening with low code, SaaS and MACH architectures.
What used to be a project doing a CMS backend, now is spent doing configurations on a SaaS product, and if we are lucky, a few containers/serveless for integrations.
There are already AI based products that can automate those integrations if given enough data samples.
Many believe AI will keep using current programming languages as translation step, just like those Assembly developers thought compiling via Assembly text generation and feeding into an Assembly would still be around.

Confused by what you mean. Is this not the case?
No, only primitive UNIX toolchains still do this, most modern compilers generate machine code directly, without having to generate Assembly text files and executing the Assembler process on it.
You can naturally revert to old ways, by asking for the Assembly manually, and call the Assembler yourself.
