typical software engineers are getting sick of AI, the large majority of software engineers are working in webdev

I think they will start migrating to lower level programming (to escape AI to an extent), and the most enjoyable lower level programming projects are:

- Writing your own language

- Retro game emulators

- Operating Systems

- Graphics programming

Also I think IDEs for retro consoles will become more prevalent, and there is the added benefit of of multiplayer for free with many emulators offering rollback netcode.
