And the need for skilled software developers has risen inexorably.

Does the current interest in AI and low/no code development simply herald the cyclical return of our economy's yearning for ever higher levels of abstraction and reduced reliance on software developers? Or has the technological landscape changed sufficiently to make developer obsolescence a more likely outcome?
