what worries me is the code-monkey idea behind everyone can/need to code. I don't want coding to become the blue-collar skill of the next decade.

I hope you didn't mean this as elitist as it comes across. There's nothing wrong with blue-collar coding
I meant it in a way that if coding becomes a blue-collar job salaries will go lower, people who have ambition will move into another field, work life will get harder.
Yes there is. As a craft, it dies.
It is already a blue-collar skill for 3/4 of people who code.
