Actually for many it is mass produced. Specification is being done to the absolute minutia, for example in the Unified Rational process, when generating use cases these get transmitted down to the architectural specifications and become the actual classes in the code (there is even software to build such skeleton code), with each method and property defined, again this is then used by the test plan to test each class/method/property etc. The coder kind of just fills in the gaps. In my previous employment we had whole teams of BA's, DBA's, System Architects, UI Designers, UX analysts etc, Then a bunch of people in the Philipines to do exactly as was written down in front of them. This kind of scenario happens a lot in larger projects.

Every program I ever produce is for a specific purpose. We don't create one program and then have an assembly line that types it in several times over and over again. We just make copies of it. Programming takes skill, intelligence, and imagination. It is not a massed produced product like linen or towels where they have to have a body to recreate the product over and over.

The problem is when you get large pools of programmers of various skill levels, and so need more management time than it would take to program it in the first place. But then this is in theory more scalable. I live in the north west of England, just outside Manchester, the Industrial revolution started here, It was once very big in the textile industry- However no textiles are made here anymore, the old Victorian buildings that used to produce these are now trendy apartments, or business parks. There are a few specialist providers, I can kind of see software going the same way. Much of software is grinding out work, that can be done very cheaply in India/China/and Africa soon. All we in the western world will be doing is niche specialist development.

I've seen exactly this progression in other language lists to which I belong. Indian firm gets contract based on price and claim to know the language. Indian firm tries to get free help from mailing lists, newsgroups, etc, because they don't understand the technology. Indian firm loses contract or is not renewed. We've got personal experience in taking development contracts away from this type of firm.
