It tells me I need to get out because it represents a shift to a higher level of abstraction in programming. In the ideal I hear expressed, instead of programming you'd be just describing the code you want and letting someone/thing else do it for you.
That's management, not programming. I want to program.
Understand that I'm not even saying there's anything wrong with that. It's just that it indicates that the things that I enjoy about being a programmer are the things that are being optimized away.
