Sadly yes.
Its something i have a big issue with. The rise of the "Game Developer", ie someone who uses an engine to create games but has little real understanding of the code behind it or how to expand it to do more.
This is fine though, it brings exciting game ideas to the market that would not normally make it, but it has resulted in my view, in people taking the "easy" road to game development and avoiding what they think is a hard topic, ie coding.
fortunately there are still lots of people who want to learn to code and make new engines, or write their own, they understand the complexity of coding and get a kick out of it. So i will keep working to stimulate those "developers" and hope they can go on to make life eaiser in the future for the ...other ones
