I'd say the salary of engineers throughout the world would go up.
I think this is a positive change that will make the overall industry more efficient and benefit society as producing high-quality software becomes more affordable. And I say this as an engineer in a high-pay city who benefits from the current inequality in the system.
I believe the change will be gradual enough that people like me can keep earning good pay by continuing to improve our skills and learn from experience.
