Is our fate to become more and more product designers and less and less software engineers?

I feel that way.

But I'm now able to actually create and release things. Before, I used to obsess over code architecture, optimizing every single line. I could and can craft beautiful code. And then I always burned out and lost interest (gemini). Now I don't touch code at all and have been actually creating and releasing the ideas I've always had in mind. Then I realized that's what I always wanted. The code was always a means to an end. But that's me.
