I don't agree. To put it bluntly, I think there is a much higher floor for intelligence in even basic programming below which one has negative productivity. I think it is at least in the 90th percentile of intelligence and maybe a little higher. It will never be blue collar work.

You greatly overestimate the difficulty. The knowledge to write programs for various platforms is commonplace now. There is too much incentive and too many learning resources at our fingertips for it not to be. You'll have to move into AI, cryptography, or template libraries or something if you want to feel special.
