Large language models will change the way we write code, but not make code disappear. We will always need code to execute software.

But we don't use punched cards anymore. We don't write low level machine code anymore, unless we must or we are into that. We don't have to use complex and difficult programming languages when we can do the same in a few lines of Python that abstract everything. And now we don't have to write most of the high level code as we can have a loose conversation with the machine.

I'm expecting that the demand for good coders will stay high, to use these new AIs, fix the bugs, check the outputs, and build much more ambitious projects.

However the demand for cheap coders that write simple applications will disappear and be replaced by machines. The humans will do other activities instead, in software development or not.
