There's likely going to be a separation between the top earners and the average.

IE. If a top tier dev make $1m today, they'll make $5m in the future. If the average makes $100k today, they'll maybe make $60k.

AI likely enables the best of the best to be much more productive while your average dev will see more productivity but less overall.

I think this is assuming that the labor market knows how to identify the dirct value of devs. This already seems to be a problem across the board regardless of job role.
I think solo founders or small software companies where top tier devs can have huge ownership will be making top dollar.
Can you give an example of what a solo founder might now make top dollar on that he previously couldn't?
I think a solo dev can make a $1b company whereas it was impossible before.
Yes I understand but so far I don't know what such a company could look like, or even in what industry it would be.
