Totally agree.

The uncomfortable truth is that the skill of _writing_ code is becoming commoditized.

Reading, understanding, designing efficient systems, and planning changes based on that, at least for now, will still be for human experts (and AI already a great assist here).

But churn out yet another webpage/website? People doing this will need to move on from this as their primary job.

People exaggerate how many people work on just simple websites / webpages. Anyone needing a website has been able to get it for very cheap for a long time.

  • Yep. It has been the case forever. The reason we keep/kept getting new tools is because laymen would exhaust their capabilities in the old tools and started requiring a developer once they need THAT ONE feature.
