>every "no-code will replace developers" wave actually creates more developer jobs, not fewer

you mean "created", past tense. You're basically arguing it's impossible for technical improvements to reduce the number of programmers in the world, ever. The idea that only humans will ever be able to debug code or interpret non-technical user needs seems questionable to me.

This doesn’t seem immediately false. Industrial society creates more complexity and specializations. There is more work to do all the time.

Actual AI seems like a possibility here.

Also the percentage of adults working has been dropping for a while. Retired used to be a tiny fraction of the population that’s no longer the case, people spend more time being educated or in prison etc.

Overall people are seeing a higher standard of living while doing less work.
