https://www.wired.com/2017/02/programming-is-the-new-blue-co... A lot of coding is just a boring job that has to be done. I never met anyone who is passionate about writing tests etc. but everyone knows that it has to be done
I think the author greatly underestimates software complexity and future development in complexity. IT is not a narrowing field, where any task soon can be solved by slinging some javascript. I agree, that some tasks are simpler than others and don't require a full computer science degree, however software development still does require that you know wth you are doing. I do not want my bank software written by a guy who just finished a 6-month javascript course.
