I'm not yet convinced that the positions are going away. Unfortunately, I find it more likely that it's going to be a bad few years and then surge in demand to fix things that have been done in those years.

Maybe I've just had bad luck but over last 2 decades I've only worked in places where 80% (at least - probably closer to 95%) coworkers (in development related areas) had negative productivity - making software more complex, brittle and abstract than necessary. With AI assistants the same people can be more "productive" and gatekeeping is mostly a lost cause.

I hope to find a decent alternative in those few years and never go back to software :)
