I used to think this way, but this assumes there's an upper limit to demand. I think as the capability of tools increase, so will user expectations in capabilities and coverage.

Sure, programming will be more about asking the right questions than implementing solutions. We'd think that'll be easy, but most people have no idea what they want in life, and philosophy is still hard.

It sounds like programmers will be a very different kind of person, with very different skill sets in that reality.

The way I see it, "programming" will become an archaic term. It might become a branch of ethics, but for machines rather than people. It'll involve setting intelligent boundaries.
