I think people would do best to retool away from “coder” towards some specilaization where coding is part of the job. Don’t be a coder, be an X that codes.
If we think of coding becoming like writing, then you can see how it might be a ubiquitous skill - but still some differentiation. Some small number of highly skilled people do it full time. Some people do is as a big part of their job (journalists, etc). Still others it’s not core to the job, but it helps (a lot of white collar work).
