Coding will be automated eventually. But I really don't believe it will be automated any time soon. The complexity of software engineering is hard to overstate. We're not talking about some typical problem domain that lends itself to the big data approach. We're talking about seriously complex conceptual hierarchies. Programming is all about abstract thought - and bugs and incompatibility problems that might stem from any layer in the stack. It's remarkable how little progress has been made in the field in all these decades. A lot of other engineering disciplines have evolved into mature industries where standard practices go a long way at producing predictably high-quality results.
