Glyph didn't convince me. (And I'm biased; I've sat in multiple sessions given by his dad 20 years ago about creating good code.)
Code can be pretty, but I don't consider it art. Just like I don't consider technical documentation art.
I much prefer being able to talk to my computer and tell it to make a Stream Deck plugin to control the lights in my office and create a weather app (and show the precipitation forecast on the buttons) in 10 minutes, rather than me futzing around for two days to create something similar. Or to create the world's first(?) Telemark ski game from my Strava dumps in 30 minutes.
Admittedly, my book and course sales are down quite a bit (which I would mostly blame on AI). I'm not sure what the future holds, but change and adaptation have been pretty constant in my 25+ year career.
I do have concerns about what the minimal knowledge requirements will be for product development in the future.
