This is true. AI won't replace software developers completely, but it will reduce the need for software developers in the long-run, making it harder to find a job.
A few seniors+AI will be able to do the job of a much larger team. This is already starting to look like reality now. I can't imagine what we will see within 5 years.
I disagree. Agents can only write as fast as we can QA/code review. If there is swe displacement it’ll be small.
All these companies firing because of AI are using it as an excuse
