IF (a big if!) all your forecast will become true, I don't think what people will mourn most at the time is losing the fun part of coding/developing SW.

Like those laborers who went jobless after the waves of industrial evolution, they should have been planning earlier for other jobs and skills, rather than focusing solely on the fulfillment from making goods.

I do think coders will ;-)

But yes, like with the Waymo destruction and people booing AI SWSX and the recent study the UK will at least lose 8 million jobs to AI, the changes are hard to imagine.

Like watching Terminator where Sarah is running around searching for a public telephone.

Yep. I don't know what's left for coders to do when AI is doing the coding, but I wouldn't be interested.

A painter gets in it for the painting, not painting management or painting business strategy technical directorship or touching up photographs taken by the new machine.

PS: I feel this way and I'm way younger than you. ;p I don't think it's an age thing as much as a "we were sold the idea that we could code" thing.
