I think an idea from the 80s is going to resurface:
Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE)
In the modern incarnation of case, architecture and component design is going to be the key human tasks. AI will generate the actual code.
The AI will be fed architecture and design languages such as ArchiMate and UML and will generate code. Once that is in play, they'll start working on AI-assisted architecture and design. Will AI ever be able to operate the entire pipeline end-to-end without a human? Most likely not, at least not any time in the foreseeable future. Will there be significantly fewer people involved in software development? Yes. Probably 80+% fewer people.
Should you teach your kids how to code? Yes - but coding in the future is what we now call "architecture" and "design."
