People have been announcing the death of coding ever since the invention of assembly language meant that programmers didn’t have to program in hexadecimal any more. As it turns out, every time you develop a new generation of software development tools that makes the programming you used to do easy, people need specialists with technical skills who can use them to do much more than could be done with the previous generation of tools. Those specialists are called coders. And we need more of them with each generation of tools, not fewer, as the scope of what can be done with code increases.
