Is the end of human coding inevitable?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is the end of human coding inevitable?". Your opponent's style: The Industrialist

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

The premise is fundamentally flawed. Humans don't code because machines can't yet, they code because coding *is thinking made executable*. Replacing human coders means replacing human problem-solvers, decision-makers, and architects. AI excels at pattern-matching existing solutions, not inventing new paradigms. Every "automated coding" tool still requires humans to define constraints, validate outputs, and own failures. The end of human coding would require AI to independently set goals, judge trade-offs, and take responsibility. That's not coding anymore, that's superintelligence. You're conflating automation of tedious tasks with the obsolescence of intellectual labor. They're not the same thing. So what exactly do you think ends human coding, if not full AGI?
