I am sure the tech industry will try to further reduce headcount. The question is what jobs emerge. We already see companies laying off, just to hire "AI interns".

If AI + lower skill engineers turn out to be valuable, it also becomes more attractive for smaller companies and startups to do software or expand / inhouse software. Which is actually a good opportunity to level up, because many devs don't become great because they miss the chance to take responsibility. Which is harder in smaller companies.
