I really like the way you've put it "Glue a few X together".

This is what most software development is becoming. We are no longer building software, we are gluing/integrating prebuild software components or using services.

You no longer solve fundamental problems unless you have a very special use case or for fun. You mostly have to figure out how to solve higher level problems using off-the-shelf components. It's both good and bad if you ask me (depends at what part of the glass you're looking at).
