While you are not wrong, the idea that gives me anxiety is that this replaces all programmers. My job theoretically is safe for now. I work on fairly novel stuff, while a lot of my day is json parsing there is a big chunk of it that is domain specific. That said... it's that one day it will just take over all of programming that has me in dread. The only option then in my somewhat middle age is to unironically "learn a trade" I guess?

I believe we still have humanity, even if everyones job was replaced, I don't think we're going to just let each other starve, even if Microsoft have their own auto-coders, I think we'd all do our best to keep some type of economy going for as long as possible. I don't think everyone in the world wants to be living in the gutter, nor do I think the majority of the people in the world want to be filthy rich either. We'll likely have a lot of people working on open source initiatives to help democratize access to important technologies etc. Who knows what the future will bring. Maybe a massive solar flare while wipe it all away next week anyway...no one knows.
