Not that I'm any different

A lot of the repetitive drudgery is being done away with. Some of the interface friction is being removed. That doesn't mean that programmers will be useless, just that it will be much easier for them to live up to their potential without being as constrained by hardware or software. You still need knowledge of the hardware and logic levels.

I think this is similar to what happened to mathematics after the invention of calculus, mathematics moved from having an emphasis on computation (arithmetic) to having a more abstract focus.

Probabilistic programming is a new programming paradigm for managing uncertain information. By incorporating it into machine learning, PPAML seeks to greatly increase the number of people who can successfully build machine learning applications and make machine learning experts radically more effective. Moreover, the program seeks to create more economical, robust and powerful applications that need less data to produce more accurate results – features inconceivable with today’s technology.
