Well , im not sure any profession dies, it just evolves and if you dont evolve with it, you become a dinosaur.

Doctors long ago would tell you anything and you agree, nowadays you can go online and check the facts against what the doctor is telling you by pasting symptoms and it tells you what to do. In future with telemedicine maybe you will be treated cheaper by a doctor in india?
Travel agents almost died when self booking online became as easy as 123, some now offer more value added services(evolution) 

My simple point, if you dont evolve, you die

However, seeing how slow this market is to adapt, web developers will still be in business a long time even with things like spitfire and others

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
