As a DevOps guy, automation has already greatly impacted software development. I’ve made a good career from being the guy that makes it so. However we’ve always had enough growth that it hasn’t noticeable reduced the number of jobs.

I’m ambivalent about AI. Companies clearly want it to reduce jobs but so far it is only good enough to be a tool to make developers slightly more efficient. I have a hard time believing that replacing developers could be successful without huge improvements in the technology
