Im curious why there's this sentiment in regarding advances in AI. High level programming languages didnt in the least bit take away the value of the SW profession, despite allowing a vast number more people to write software.

The amount and complexity of software will expand to its very outer bounds for which specialists will be required.

A better comparison I think is low-code platforms.

There are plenty of folks making a living using platforms like Salesforce and “clicks not code,” but it never led to an implosion of the SE job market. Just expanded the tech job pool. And it’s hard to imagine how that would have happened if everything needed to be coded.

Like how a growth in medical-paraprofessionals didn’t negate the need for doctors and nurses.
