Someone above already pointed at the move from coding toward architecture. That matches my experience. I had a short stint in CS that I didn't finish, and most of my work is in another engineering domain. With AI tools I spend more time on architecture and judgment and less on syntax, and that's where I actually add value. No product I build gets past prototype without solid architecture and human intervention where real judgment is needed. But there are people who aren't programmers and still understand systems and criteria well. Those people can now ship products that actually work. That doesn't mean every non-programmer should ship; it means the floor for who can build moved. Human capabilities will keep evolving around the tool. It doesn't have to be either pessimistic and restrictive or optimistic and permissive. It's like that Rattaoutille phrase from Anton Ego "not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere".
