When was "confined to trained developers" true? Heck, part of the internal to Bell Labs pitch for Unix was that everyone could shell script.
Home computers in the 80s democratized programming 40 years ago. Human readable HTML and HTTP 0.9 - 1.1 are widely created with the WWW explosion.

Software creation is no longer confined to trained developers; it's open to everyone. This new era of "citizen coders" will democratize innovation and empower people from all walks of life to build their own digital tools.
“Trained developers” huh? I think this is the spin of the wheel, or a sign that software development culture is indeed an ouroboros.

So, IMO, this says that there is increasing need for code testing, verification and security audit of what the black box put out, which requires a great deal of skill, and don't tell me that this job needs to be handed off to AI.
Further, it says that the architects of solutions can be coders, when in fact, serious software often consists of multiple pieces that work together, and which can benefit from optimization. Witness the analyst who sped up code enormously by replacing one SQL statement. IMO, analyzing "someone else's code", in this case your Chatbot's production is almost as daunting as writing your own. And who's to say that the next prompt might generate something quite different, adding to the "post-processing"
