When an AI is able to train itself (like a human) is when developer jobs will be in trouble. Fortunately, every other profession will also be out of a job as well.

Until then, rote work will continue to be automated more effectively but no more.

The most ironic thing is that people who do the hard work are unlikely to be obsoleted any time soon. At least in third-world countries. Theoretically you can build robot today to replace janitors, plumbers or serviceme but it just too expensive and does not scale.

But replacing computer operators is scalable. So I definitely expect most office people including low skilled developers to be replaced by AI in a 20 years. High-skilled developers might survive (and I'm not sure if I'd qualify) but obviously for most workers that's not very encouraging.
