Nope, only those without a degree that cannot do anything else, e.g. the bricklayers on a building.
Real engineering has always been about talking with the multiple parties, organising architecture meetings, taking down requirements, if no infra team available setup the whole CI/CD pipeline, and so on.
Programming could be done in whatever language, or low code/no code tool, solved the business problem.
Now what will remain to humans is a big question.
It's not even about the degree. Fresh computer science graduates already know how to code but can't do the senior developer stuff.

That depends on the quality of the degree. I was well served on my Software Engineering degree, coupled with the trader school in computing I went during high school.
Then naturally seniority teaches office politics, and what to actually invest time on.
Well said.
Oh really? I thought the language needed to be ALGOL on a Burroughs B6700!
If it solves the business case. A proper engineer would actually recognise that should be NEWP in 2026.
