let's bet 1000USD that in 2 years there will not be even 2 confirmed real cases where any algorithm is doing a full time job of senior+ software engineer?

In two years the job of a senior software engineer will be completely redefined, so I'm not sure how we could test your prediction. Would someone who tells an AI model to build something still be an engineer, or would we call that person a manager?

I bet another 1000$ that it would not be completely redefined

At best it would embrace using some AI assisted tools in no more extent than today's cars use algorithms for those safety features.

But the nature of the profession will only change when the mainstream computers design changes drastically (and there is no strong signs of that yet)
