Code is just instructions, so ... yeah humans can totally be replaced with something more efficient & better... but what does 'better' really mean? is the output lower latency? higher concurrency? did it do something amazing with little resources?

I've only been in the industry 20yr, but I've met a wide range of people with different goals that drive many factors of many outcomes; as long as people are in the picture stuff is going to be inefficient from 1 pov, while at the same time human diversity can be a huge pool of talent/skill/creativity that a code generator can't have by design (it's solving for efficiency).

It would be a mistake to think things are never going to change. I think it's more reasonable to plan for change and try to keep a head of it by being relevant in a field that interests you, and has demand.
