Could the rise of AGI mean software no longer has to be written by humans? Sure it won't be finished. But we wouldn't need to be the ones to work on it anymore.

Yes, and once this happens it significantly lowers the cost of automation in general, which then will continue to drive exponential acceleration. It will take time to get there but I believe it to be a lot closer than most believe.
