One thing that many of these kinds of articles don't really talk about but that also emphasizes their point is that there will be an increase in interfaces/languages for software developers to do increasingly specialized for work. As such, there will be more compilers, vms, dsls, etc which means that there will be more of a demand for developers who have this skillset. Ideally, this should lead to more folks becoming developers or at least acquiring skills that professional developers have in order to make effective use of these tools.
I would agrue as LLMs increase in capability, the demand for new languages will collapse.
My counterargument for that is that LLMs need to communicate not only between themselves and humans but LLM to LLM communication. We will get more niche and domain specific languages designed for LLMs as a result.
