That's the correct diagnosis IMHO, but getting good as software engineering is ~3 years of serious studying and ~5-10 years of serious work and that's after you've learned to code, which is easier to some and more difficult to others.
Compare ROI of that to being able to get kinda the software you need in a few hours of prompting; it's a new paradigm, progress is (still) exponential and we don't know where exactly things will settle.
Experts will get scarce and very sought after, but once they start to retire in 10-20-30 years... either dark ages or AI overlords await us.
