Will always be the most important skill. Just spend some time in QA if you disagree.

Interestingly enough QA as a discipline is disappearing. It is much easier to use customers as free QA.

It's funny that assuming you meant the other QA didn't invalidate his comment.
Besides having customers do QA, another trend is having developers do it. No need for a separate QA function, just like there's no need for an external auditor to look over the company's books!

First time in my programming I have dedicated QA. The first seven years more of a headache than a help. Now we have some very good QA. Makes a difference. And yes, debugging in very important. Sometimes it is a wake up when stepping through the code.

Indeed, ZuroDev! 
Currently doing the job as code analist in our company.
Therefore my daily work is fixing the issues of my colleagues via debugging
and also hunting for memory leaks... 
Thank God there are tools like ReSharper to help me a lot. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Obviously "People Skills" - after generations of being brought up with "everybody's a winner", the way you get your job will be having that personnel connection with whomever is hiring.
Picking up jargon rapidly and using it profusely will also be a big plus.
Those with no gender identity - perhaps an added plus to show the openness of hiring policies.
Cynics need not apply . . . .

I identify as ... something/anything ... that hates people. In my world learning how to avoid/ignore people is a very useful and often required skill.
Luckily I still have 20+ years of experience to fall back on.

No coding skills will be needed. They're working on "no-code" platforms.

SQL was supposed to do that as well. A human understandable language to interrogate a database.
Then they had to add functionality to make it useful, and here we are.

I was at a Microsoft conference in Ft Lauderdale, maybe 25 years ago... Someone attending the MS Access session reported that the speaker said Programming will be obsolete.

One would think that security programming would be the most important given the paranoia about government agencies and criminals, domestic and foreign, keen to spy on all our communication traffic.
I remember decades ago a children's puppet "the Hood" from the Gerry Anderson Thunderbirds TV series, sold in toy shops; it had a build in speech chip with stock phrases, my favourite was "I will steal all their secrets". Just as relevant today!

I'm surprised at all the votes for security. Not that it isn't important, but surely it's not a concern that needs to infest every piece of code. If it does, something's wrong with the overall design. Not to mention that most security breaches are caused by users or administrators doing risky things.
|
|

|
|
You need to know how to write secure code. This single item prevents a lot of technical breaches.
|
|
|
|
|
OK, so what are some examples of writing secure code?

I don't know. But if you want examples for unsecure, I give you IoT... where 90% or more is just 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Is containers (Docker and Kubernetes), Cloud (Azure, AWS and lately GC) and DevOps.
AI and security are more high profile because they're in the news a lot, but somehow less in demand (or I'm looking at the wrong ads because I'm not really in that business).
What's funny is that Blockchain, the hype of three years ago, is completely out of the picture.
So that's what they're asking, whether it's important or if it'll die like Blockchain remains to be seen
