Let's assume that in 10 years, AI has advanced absurdly, insanely fast, and is now capable of doing everything a Senior SWE can do. It can program in 15 different languages, 95% accuracy with almost no mistakes, can create entire applications in minutes, and no more engineers or SWEs are needed.... What will all the devs do? Do they just become homeless? Transition to medical field, nursing? Become tradespeople like plumbers, HVAC?

Lots of my colleagues in SWE use full blown AI development tools.

We all use full blown AI development tools. Before that we had other tricks that did the same thing.

We must beware mistaking the instrument for the musician, or we get sold a broken old instrument that doesn't perform miracles outside it's master's hand.
