> And I say good. Coding and application development being more accessible is a good thing. Technological advancement usually takes the form of taking something that used to be hard and socialised and making it easy and accessible. In the long run, this is a good thing.
Maybe it is a good thing, but I don't think that that fact, regardless of veracity, is relevant to the coping argument, though.
All the developers prattling on about how they are moving to a higher level of abstraction, or how they are moving to the more difficult parts of the process are ignoring that those parts traditionally paid less and that they are now competing with a larger pool of people who can provide that skill.
