I think you missed some of the nuance of the article.
You’re talking about how many jobs there will be, and they’re (also) talking about how many people will qualify as “developers”.
Will the number of jobs go up or down or stay the same? Who knows? Probably down.
…but that’s only half the story.
Will the number of “developers” able to do what only “developers” can do now go up down or stay the same?
Well, since my mom told me she put some php on her Wordpress site from chat-gpt last week, I’m gonna sit in the “a considerable number more developers will materialise” camp. I.e. a huge glut in the number of people competing for that (probably shrinking) pool of jobs.
