This. Thanks for putting words to a thought I've had for a while. It's already happening. We're transitioning from web/mobile app demand to services demand, which explains the relatively recent explosion of the SaaS/PaaS/IaaS models.

Also, there's no reason to base it on an arbitrary threshold like high school graduation. The amount of rote programming I have to do (as a professional working in the field of 10 years) is drastically decreasing.
