Code doesn't have a gender or a race, it works or it doesn't.
If you can describe the code that well (to say objectively that it works or it does not), it is true that anyone can write it. But someone has to write the plan. Someone has to react when plans/hardware change midproject, which they always do.
I genuinely do use junior engineers to write that code. But I don't send it out to fucking India. I want them to tell me when my plan sucks. And I want them to be flexible and smart and to understand what I say. And for that I need Americans and Europeans, basically.
I don't do it much, but you can work with Eastern Europeans. Wages are somewhat lower there. Money goes further. Those costs are still much higher than a 3rd world country. You have to do it carefully, but there are ways to get work done in E. Europe, and save money on it, and it still be good.
And when someone can describe what they want so well there will be no need for anything outside of A.I.
But until then, bad managers will save money by going for cheaper solutions and there are plenty of them at the same level as those currently in the industry (Anyone who tweets while claiming to be a programmer is a perfect example of one).
I think it was another thread about defense, but they at least have to hire an American at some phase. At least an American middle man. Otherwise it's a precious project that can justify the value add to hire American programmers. Making those numbers work is hard everywhere.

You are perfectly correct.
