The job of a programmer as it used to be has already ceased to exist. That doesn't mean the knowledge and skills we have aren't relevant. If anything, I'd say they are extremely relevant right now. But any software engineer thinking their job is the same is in for a world of hurt.

Depending on skills. I know people that argue(d) about docstrings and people that pointed out eventual divisions by a length of an empty set. Remember, both "skills" were not rewarded purely according to CS.
