Indeed, and what is really the difference between a software engineer, programmer, coder and hacker anyways?

There used to a time where "computer" was a person who manually run calculations. These don't exist anymore.

So, my point is that once corporations have access to machines generating software (not "code") that can be usable by non-technical people, "programming" will not be a profession anymore. There will be no point in talking about "10x software engineers" because the process to produce a software product will be entirely automated.
