I feel it's more nuanced than this, at least for now.

It's true to say anyone can build software, but that doesn't make the software good and it's not true to say that's specifically reliant on taste.

As an example I am working with an Entrepreneur right now who has no coding experience but have successfully made a product which they have also already sold to a mid sized company.

However without my involvement and knowing the right levers to craft the AI the software just wasn't performing how it needed to despite the latest frontier models trying their hardest to achieve what he was stating.

At least for now there's still a need for experienced devs.

It’s fascinating to me how polished these things can look now. Years ago I recall reading a story of some consultant or new team member remarking how strange it is to start at a company, be given a tour of the codebases, and eventually find some awkward aspect of the architecture no one could really explain the reason for that had slipped under the radar for years. This feels like that but multiplied by a thousand.
