AI may eventually replace programmers, but the craft of programming will survive the way knitting did, and you were never just a programmer: you are a builder.

I- I can relate that if you very deeply identify that you are a programmer, that it's scary and that it's threatening because what you like and what you're really good at is now being done by a soulless or not entity. But I don't think you're just a programmer. That's a very limiting view of your craft. You are, you are still a builder.
