I think as long as having to review code stays around, the 'artistry' of writing code isn't going away.
Think about it - how do you increase the speed at which one can review code? Well first it must be attractive to look at - the more attractive the faster you review/understand and move through the review. Now this won't be the case everywhere - e.g. in outsourced regions the conditions will force people to operate a certain way.
Im not a SWE by trade, I just try to look at things from a pragmatic stand-point of how org's actually make incremental progress faster.
