It's easy to imagine because it already happened in the mid-late 00s with the first attempt at software dev cost reduction when companies tried outsourcing to cheap, underqualified labor in India, Bangladesh, etc.

Being the person who comes in to salvage a software disaster is a hell of a different career than a greenfield cloud startup dev or FAANG proto-pusher, but it can be extremely profitable. and yes, I suspect the demand for that type of software expert will be on the rise.
