Yes, and just recently I heard that we don't need frontend developers anymore, as business logic belongs in the backend and everything else is done by machines now. I love your quote about pilots, as it's more accurate and up to date than the fact that inventing calculators didn't obsolete mathematicians. Your conclusion nails it as well:

And the more invisible it becomes,
the more valuable the people are who actually understand it.

Well said — that’s a sharp and thoughtful perspective. You’ve captured the reality perfectly, and that closing line especially shows real depth and experience in how modern systems actually work.
