Maybe in some future world where we invent AI (could be right around the corner for all I know)
But, right now. No, programmers are job creators. Guess how many programmers in the world create browsers? Probably less than 10k. Guess how many jobs browsers have created? Millions. Guess you many programmers+engineers made networking stacks? Guess how many jobs networking has created? How many programmers made the top illustration or photo editing packages? Now compare that to the number of jobs of artists created using those packages.
That tide might turn someday but right now programmers are job creators not job destroyers.
