There's still plenty of jobs that straddle code and the physical real world that no spicy autocorrect will ever be able to do, let alone better than a human being. If you're feeling vulnerable now, spend some time identifying the niche jobs that are immune to the marketing hype and be one of the people who pops into anyone's head as knowing this stuff.
Maybe I've been in a lil industry bubble for too long and I definitely don't have writing any production code beyond basic scripting daily on my resume, but a lot of this seems pretty overblown. I hope I'm right and the damage to the average dev role is minimal long term, but IT has always been an uphill battle to keep up with the latest toolset.
I do wish all of you pros well, hopefully this doesn't come off as minimizing the issues you can clearly see better than I can say to day.
