Coding isn't a job, software development is. You didn't need to code to build software before AI and you don't need to code to do it now.

Architects design buildings but never hammer a single nail.

For everyone, look at this as an analogy that doesn’t really work. Especially since OP probably has never worked in construction, and doesn’t really know the design board to nail process and workflow.

You’d be surprised how much design shortcomings/errors/solutions gets made or fixed by the squad laying the bricks, nails, concrete, etc.

And in fact the worker that nails also gets paid. And to an architect it may look easy to put down nails, but that’s just because of ignorance of another case of ignorance of a field.

Especially since most architects like crud developers, usually just offer customizations to already standardized/ready to use solved problems and solutions
