I agree that some professionals are already programming through Excel and Jupyter-like notebooks.
But, apart from seeing people use better tools in a more sophisticated way, I believe basic theory, formal syntax and algorithmic thinking will be a part of the skillset of all future professionals (like formal writing skills or math concepts are now).
I think you're placing the cultural cart before the economic horse here. The reason we haven't professionalized is because there's been no need to - demand for devs far outstrips supply.
That's a good point. Supply-demand is probably a better explanation for the lack of regulation.
This will also be accelerated as soon as we start killing people with badly written code
I wonder if we're running late already. A few political conflicts have already been linked to poorly regulated and thought-out technology.

Or the multiple data leaks as of late (and the consequences they might have).
