Why are we still obsessed with writing manual code when no-code/AI agents can do it better, faster?

As software engineers, we've been taught that writing code line-by-line is what makes us valuable. But in reality, our real worth lies in solving problems not in typing syntax.
If an AI agent or no-code tool can turn our logic into working code or automate tedious tasks, why not let it?
The future isn’t about doing the hard work manually. It’s about thinking clearly, designing smart solutions, and using the best tools available even if that means not writing every line ourselves.
Let’s stop fearing that automation makes us obsolete. Instead, let’s lead the change by focusing on:
✅ Logic
✅ Problem-solving
✅ System design
✅ High-level thinking

We’re not losing our worth we're evolving.
