An increase in developer productivity implies fewer developers per task.

But I agree, that is likely to increase demand for developers in many organizations and the market at large. Since software is a bottleneck on many internal and external products and services, and often is the product or service.

But many other kinds of work are more likely to see a reduction in labor demand, given higher productivity.

But AI software generation will get better, and at some point, lower level coders will not be in demand and that might be a majority. I imagine developer quality and development tasks as a pyramid. The bottom is most vulnerable.
