> but I have not seen many companies that still hire programmers in the most narrow sense, that only focus on writing code.

So you yourself have already seen the demise of the programmer so why are you arguing against it? Software development isn’t going away. But just like we no longer have tweeners in animation, we’ll soon no longer have programmers in software development. Then soon there after we won’t have “front-enders” and “back-ended” the term “full stack” will lose meaning and at the end what we call a software developer will be more akin to what you today call a business analyst than a programmer.

I'm arguing against it with the other two arguments you didn't address.

Yes, AI will change the role of software engineers - and it's my personal belief that in the next couple of years this change will be smaller than many people think. But no, AI will not replace engineers like Mark Zuckerberg thinks.

Why not? Because AI makes too many mistakes and AI is not going to support and maintain your code.
