Re:Why software developers might be obsolete by 2030 by _the_inflator on Monday October 19, 2020 @10:39AM (#24826779)
Some tasks are better done by tools now. I agree with that. I believe that we still haven't figured out how much software we need. Or put another way: Every software breeds new software. How did we get to low code platforms in the first place? Because of software. Who is using low code? Specialists. What can you build on top of platforms? More software. What established new ecosystems? Software. Software is a tool. There is still virtual reality to come. And virtualization simply shows how much value software can generate. Example: Virtual goods. Whoever thought that human beings need stuff that only exists in a game hosted in the cloud? Excel? Coda, Notion, etc. Maybe also the term developers itself changes. Remember the Frontend vs Backend discussion? This happens to Data Scientists and Python as well. I believe that by 2030 there will be even more demand.
