If you still don't think software engineering as a high paying job is over, I don't know what to tell you.


My counterargument: https://agifriday.substack.com/p/jevons

Short version: Jevons's paradox means that the more coding you automate away for developers (like with compilers in the past), the more in-demand those developers are. (Until AGI when all bets are off, of course.)


It might be over in the future, but it's still fine for the next few years at the minimum.


It's high paying?
