My plan is trivial, because I'm old and retired, so I just keep doing more of the same.

I'm here writing this because your premise is wrong. Greenfield programming is a lot easier with AI, if you're willing to ride herd on it, and correct the errors. The profession of programming has little to do with actually generating code, and far, far more to do with the overall structure, and coping with all of the geometrically growing number of corner cases.

Imagining the corner cases, and coming up with ways to cover them, a priori, is what programmers actually get paid for. If AI gets to that point, nothing except actual physical labor is safe.

Someone has to ride herd on the AI if it is to be useful. You can be that someone.
