This is already occurring. I work at a large engineering company. The engineers, even those with no coding experience, are writing one off scripts to solve problems and then throwing them away. Some write 10-15 scripts a day. All of which used to be done by IT. Our IT department has shrunk to glorified data managers. Make sure the data is reliable and the engineers write all the logic themselves.
It's much nearer than you expect.
It may not be agile or maybe it's the extreme of agile.
Our finance guys started using the scripting language just 6 months ago.
The requests are drying up from them as well...
None of the script would pass even basic IT standards, but they work. And they only have to work once. Answer the immediate question. They don't care if it takes 1 min or 8 hours.
It's not pretty, but it is disposable code with no IT involvement.
