I completely agree.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Maybe we'll even see a golden era, where being a Software Engineer will mean working on some complex engineering challenges, and not just building some basic CRUD interface.

Yes, that’s the point. I don’t see any loser or job losing here. Not only the developers, everyone should always keep updates with new era.
I was seeing our sysadmins moved next steps to work with servers on the cloud, they’re happier because they won’t have to drive hours to datacenter when shit h*ppens, they won’t have to worry about ram/disk checks annually. They developed new skillset with clouds which allows them to work everywhere.
Things change, it’s normal. And in our industry, thing change even faster. Why would we waste our brain for those simple apps?

Exactly. This isn't the first disruption we're seeing.

By the way, I remember when I first heard of Amazon Web Services, and it sounded confusing.

It's like someone would tell me today "Let's put our app on the Walmart Cloud".

That's why it's always worth doing a POC, you never what you might miss, until you try it.

Some developers get offended with this, just because they don’t accept a guy using tools to make app, while they are the same: using libraries with some config to make app. It just means they learnt very little about software development: watching some tutorials, googling some stackoverflow answers, copynpaste solution without knowing what it actually does. They just never want to leave their safe-zone (what they’ve learnt easily).
That’s fine, totally fine, but why don’t let people with zero-programming experience make those simple apps? I saw guys hated “degree”, or “experience”, or whatever, was saying anyone can learn to code, but don’t want to let anyone to make app without code. It’s simply hypocrisy.
