Indeed. I yearn for a time when I just got to pump out code. Actually writing code in quantity hasn't been a part of my job for years. Figuring out what to do is more of the job than how.

I have no doubt that machines can write a lot of the boilerplate code going forward. But that's just the evolution of tools. Actually building systems; composing them and keeping them running... this is a whole other art.
