Will we see growing unemployment in software development? Maybe in the short term, but the appetite for software is not finite just as the appetite for any other kind of economic tool is not finite.

What percentage of software just ceases development when it's "good enough?" Probably a tiny percentage of all software, and which is mostly internal tooling.

It's going to push software development into the front of business development precisely because it will be cheaper to develop. The companies that will benefit from AI at least early on will all be software-driven companies since the results are undeniable. If software developers lose out when all of their companies become more efficient and new companies are built because it becomes easier to build software with small teams, I will be very surprised.
