What is the trend of the job market for web programmers in the next 10-50 years?

Question

Career in IT

Recently, more and more often I see all sorts of website builders that even a blonde can master.
Looking back into the past (into the sunset) I wondered (oh horror) how long we need to automate web processes, just like robots do cars.
And taking into account the economic situation in our country, when people began to spend 60-70% of their income on food, will the work of a webcoder be in demand?
What will kill us first?
Robots or the economy?

Web developers will also receive an average of 20 bucks per hour. Freelancing.
And the rest of the country's inhabitants in 5-10 years with the current government instead of 200 rubles per hour (3 bucks) will receive ten thousand (~ 50 cents) per hour.

You really exaggerate a lot. The blonde doesn't even know what a website builder is.

Answer 3

TL;DR Everything will be very good if you are a good specialist and not a freelancer.
In the next 10-50 years, all processes will be automated; programmers will be in great need, including web programmers. In freelancing, as there was high competition, it will continue to be. Getting a job in an office will not be more difficult than it is now, because there are still not enough good programmers - there are many who say they know html, css, php, and those who can at least make microservices based on this knowledge are already few.
Studios working on order will close, and those who do SaaS will prosper, although competition will increase.
Do you have an online taxi service in your region? Now almost every region creates its own analogue of Uber. Strange as it may seem, they pay quite well for this at the moment.
There are a lot of industries in the economy that automation has not yet reached. Even not all stores have an online storefront.

Answer 4

Well, with a high probability, the market of small sites will dissolve in designers, purchased templates, or will be farmed out to social pages. networks. Otherwise, the web will move to the same type of apps as on smartphones.
