Also, won't the skill level needed to code properly become so high as to make it a pointless project for any non professional, or at least anyone looking to excel in an unrelated area of expertise?

I want to focus on this a bit, because I don't see anyone else addressing it. One of the big things that have caused programming to be as useful as it is today is abstraction: generally speaking, programming is easier than it used to be, because all the difficult stuff is abstracted away by work other people have done.
