Yes--I very much agree with you, and that's what I mean about finding a new intersection.
The job-part of the Venn diagram is, I think, hardest for people because we can't control what companies pay for. I agree that software engineering, as a profession, will continue, but I don't think there will be many jobs that pay you to (e.g.) write C++ by hand.
The trick is finding that new intersection. I actually agree with you that the creative process is the important part--as long as I'm creating, I don't care whether I'm typing code or not.
But I also get that for some people, the typing (or the thinking about what to type) is the important part. They are having a hard time finding the new intersection.
