I don’t claim to have any particular prescience here, but doesn’t this assume that the scope of “software” remains static? The potential universe of programmatically implementable solutions is vast. Just so happens that many or most of those potential future verticals are not commercially viable in 2024.

Exactly. Custom software is currently very expensive. Making it cheaper to produce will presumably increase demand for it. Whether this results in more or fewer unemployed SWEs, and if I'll be one of them, I don't know.
