A coder should be worried about GPT-4, but not a software engineer. A software engineer is like 50% about networking and listening to client needs, requiring being attentive and with social skills (in so many meetings...) and that's completely outside of the scope of a GPT-4 AI. The other 50% is trying to meet that as close as possible while maybe also offering ideas they didn't think of, for added value to them.
A guy who can code great generic stuff with GPT-4 but don't particularly _enjoy_ integrating it with client systems and being attentive to their particular circumstances and needs is no threat at all, at least not in the field of business that I am in and have been for the last 20 years.
