We already do this with libraries and frameworks in a more primitive way. The hard work is actually done by a hand full of programmers, everyone else is sticking pipes together. I don't think that's a bad thing per se, but in my experience most people don't make the distinction. You're not going to be able to write your own database server with this tool if you weren't able to do so without it. If you're one of the few programmers that are able to build a database, a graphics engine, a compiler etc. you're fine. Everyone else should probably feel a mild panic. You'll be automated away in a couple of AI generations.
Is there really that much of a difference between a programmer building a database and one building something mundane?
Obviously, there's some core algorithmic work that needs to occur, but that's always been done by a very small number of people anyway. The rest is still glueing.
