Software development always was a way to explain the real task to computer. As developer you should understand the domain, you should understand the solution, you should understand tools and approaches. Coding languages and tools are changing and evolving. I started from IBM360, 8080 and MCS48 assemblers and Fortran. A year ago I used C++, Dart, Go and Python. More than year I do not manually write code at all. But I still a software developer. Tools changing, but software development is the same: applying domain knowledge and business requirements to the computing domain. So yes, coding is solved. But software development still alive.
