Complexity always goes up, but at the same time we are heading for a singularity and simplification.

If at first you don't succeed... get a better publicist
If the final destination is death, then we should enjoy every second of the journey.

Things are getting more complex, while simultaneously getting simpler? Seriously

With so many APIs now available, programming seems to have become more about knowledge about APIs rather than writing actual code.

...sooner or later, programming will be simpler to the point to be just the last step of design.
Someday, metadata based systems will "talk" between themselves to integrate and extend as required.
In the decades between, developers will continue passing from the "how" to the "what", raising the level of abstraction of the solutions they create.
Wake up! The Singularity is coming.

True. Whenever we discuss the future, we need to distinguish between one of several futures: what we wish would occur, what we thing could occur, and what will probably happen. In the short term, inertia will hold us on a narrow path of incremental evolution. When most of the control is exercised by certain big players, things will progress more and more slowly. Compare how much has changed between 1950 and 1985, and how small the subsequent changes have been in comparison.
Eventually, someone will step out of the forest and show the world the pointless drudgery of pouring gigabytes of literal code into thousands of unintelligent frameworks. They will analyze what the programmers and their programs are doing, together as a single unit, and realize that it is much like a person pulling a horse forward. However, when that day comes, it could amount to little if the market isn't ready for something new.
