People still pay thousands of dollars for wedding photographers even though everyone at the wedding also has a camera and many are taking their own pictures.
I am not a software engineer and it seems to me if someone has experience as a software engineer before LLMs, they have skills no one will really be able to acquire again in the same way.
I would expect current software engineers to eat the entire non-customer facing back office in the next ten years.

Wedding photography used to be the lowest in the pecking order of professional photography. Now all the photojournalists, travel magazine and corporate events photographers are as good as extinct. Even the arts market for photography been on decline for years.
