As someone having watched AI systems being good enough to replace jobs like content creation on CMS, this is being in denial.
Yes software developer are still going to be need, except much fewer of us, exactly like fully automated factories still need a few humans around, to control and build the factory in first place.
I concur with your sentiments.
Am puzzled why so many on HN cannot see this. I guess most users on HN are employed? Your employers - let me tell you - are positively salivating at the prospect of firing you. The better LLM's get the fewer of you will be needed.
Denial, like those factory workers at the first visit from the automation company, each one hoping they are the ones elected to stay and overwatch the robots.
I have seen projects where translator teams got reduced, asset creation teams, devops head count, support teams on phone lines,...
It is all about how to do more with less, now with AI help as well.
