I think you're right in the long run, but in the short run all it takes is largely the non-experts and business people to _think_ they can make mass layoffs and "hire" AI for a significant number of people to lose out on the industry.
Save more of those big SWE paychecks knowing that doomsday is coming.
It’s not, obviously, but I wouldn’t want to be in the bottom 50% … you can end up being the person who fixes the LLM-generated code but that’s awful.
Just like there are lots of layoffs now, but also many areas of new growth, it’s hard to imagine how the opportunities will evaporate.
Stay flexible and don’t drink the “end of the dev” kool-aid. Don’t paint yourself into a corner - especially not a corner that is ripe for LLM-efficiency takeover.
