the future of freelance programmers

hello goodday. my name is babafemi ibitolu fro nnigeria. i am a desktop/web programmer and i have been programming for up to a year now and i have found the industry to be challenging and in return rewarding.

something has been bothering me for like 2 months. i and a friend were talking and he said. femi with companies like microsoft and the rest of them competing with freelance programmers like you and i, creating environments that make programming so easy that a novice can pick up an environment and begin to build applications, and if it continues like that what is the future of us.

I heard that same argument 25 years ago. Yet there are still a lot of people and companies who need programming work but either don't want to do it themselves or don't have the time. freelance jobs are secure in the forseeable future.
