Will computer AI replace developers for coding?

It's a odd question but I hear it all the time. I would like to hear others feedback on the subject. Do you think computers will be able to write code and make a majority of developers/software engineers obsolete? Within say the next 10 years or 20 years?

It's hard to estimate exactly how long it might take, but it's coming. I'm not sure total obsolescence will occur quite that fast, but I'd bet the role of "programming" will look very different in 20 years.
