I probably wont be programming that much, if i do not work with a legacy system. The type of programming i do is mostly putting a simple gui on top of a database, in a decade we will have automated that task and making a database application will be as simpel as doing a powerpoint presentations. If i do not move up to management or find a niche i will be out of a job, because i do not have the capacity to figure out the hard parts of programming.

There will still be jobs for "configurers", who define the inter-field dependencies and so on, in support of the business logic. As it gets easier to make these forms the amount of logic in them will increase.

Your job will be to understand a business process, and build the app out so that the app supports the process.
