haha, I was working in the industry around that time, though quite young and inexperienced and had someone pull me aside to tell me I needed to get out of coding because soon the business PM type guys (like he was) wouldn't need "guys like you" soon.

His two points were one, 'no code' tools (they didn't call it that back then); this idea that full on business apps could get created by non programmers by just tweaking some XML.

Then he was convinced the rest would be done just by cheap indians and chinese programmers.
