“50 years from now, I can’t imagine people programming as we do today. It just can’t be."
Dear writer, let me introduce you to FORTRAN, COBOL, LISP, or BASIC.
These are alive languages, all 50+ years old.
Coding didn't change much. The languages, the methodologies, the ideas change, but the approach is the same, and whoever thinks this will soon (50 years is not _that_ far) changes, have never had to debug something nasty. Doing that with voice commands in my opinion is significantly harder compared to what we have now.
We will have tools, accessible, easy tools; Arduinos and Pis of the future; sure. But it will not replace, nor eliminate or reduce the amount of code written.
