I think the industry will bifurcate along the axis of "doing actually novel stuff" vs slinging DB records and displaying web pages. The latter is what I'd expect to get disrupted, if anything, but the former isn't going away unless real AGI is created. The people on the left of that split are going to be worth a lot more because the pipeline to get there will be even harder than it was before.

Unfortunately the latter is the vast majority of software jobs.

Yeah, but honestly I'm ok with the industry shrinking along that axis.

slinging DB records and displaying web pages is already disrupted. Wordpress, Shopify, SAP so people without tech background can click around and have stuff done.

If someone is building web shop from scratch because he wants to sell some products, he is doing something wrong. If someone builds web shop to compete with Shopify he also is doing something wrong most likely.
