Unfortunate reality is that software devs will go the way of the blacksmith sooner rather than later. If there is anything after this I would not even dare to question. There is always fridge repair!

Of course I do. Once you have an entity that is 100x cheaper and better why use a human? Is GPT-4 the one to do it? Probably not, but there is GPT-5,6,7,8...

I think in general large software organizations that do not act as a platform for AI will surely die, they will no longer provide anything of value.

Only way to be sure that you can have a job for now is to be a tradesman, I reckon you got at least a decade longer in that gig. After that it is game over obviously.
