Kind of. A theme in programming since the beginning has been automation. You're using a computer anyway to do a more or less well defined task, naturally programming itself is one of the prime targets for automation.

Programming languages are automation tools. Libraries. Frameworks. It should be pretty clear this is a lasting trend, and doesn't necessarily mean programmers will have more or less jobs (due to well known effects of automation such as enabling new applications and increasing demand from increased productivity). It does mean you probably need to keep learning to stay relevant, and use those tools to your advantage!
