As software engineers, I get the feeling we’re moving almost entirely away from code.

Wille-Driven Development — I prefer the word from Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (The World as Will and Representation).
What we will begins to matter more. The gap between desire and existence is collapsing. In Genesis, creation is a pure speech-act: fiat lux, and it was so — no implementation details, no build step, will and result simultaneous. We're not there yet. But I find the distance is measurable and shrinking.
The Representation — code, syntax, toolchains — is receding. The Will asserts itself more directly. Welcome to the future.
