Being worried about new potentially disruptive tech is legitimate, it's hard to see our place in an environment we can't predict.
However, particularly as a full stack dev, I think that it will create more opportunities for jobs than concurrence. You mention 10-20 years ahead, if you look that same horizon back in the past it seems (I wasn't working then) that the job also changed significantly, without making devs obsolete.
AGI might happen in our lifetime (I hope so), but I'm dubious that it will happen through a singularity [1]. Therefore, I'm not worried that as tech experts we won't have time to adapt.
