    20 years ago at a trade show, a new module based visual coding tool was introduced in my field which claimed “You’ll never need another programmer”.

    Oddly enough, I still have a job.

    The tools have gotten better, but I still write code every day because procedural programming is still the best way to do things.

    It is just now reaching the point that we can do some small to medium scale projects with plug and play systems, but only with very specific equipment and configurations.

      20 years ago while learning web development Dreamweaver was going to supposedly eliminate the need for code on websites too. lol

      But sadly, the dream of eliminating us seems like it will never die
