Everyone's focused on writing code - is the code even needed when a good enough AI exists? How many of us are writing code to extract 10% more efficiency out of humans, if they go so do we.

Also if software development does survive, it's going to look very attractive to all the other unemployed people.

i think currently those 6-figure salaries are looking great for like most of humanity - I don't expect seismic shifts here.

but there is a funny mechanic at play certainly: once some dev work gets cheap as a commodity, demand surges suddenly since at a low enough price point and availability everyone wants to have some need solved that made no financial sense before.
