Software development will be the last of the last jobs to be automated. Take Shopify which makes it so you don't have to hire devs for your ecommerce store. A lot of custom work for ecommerce stores dried up, but then developers moved on to things that could not be automated. Let's say AI gets so good it can handle ALL types of web development tasks. The tools for AI would have to be extremely advanced, so much so that a normal web developer now has super-powers. You might not think a web developer has the ability to automate a construction workers job... but in a future where AI is so good that web development is obsolete? Robotics frameworks would be as easy to use as React by then. Of course there are many edge cases in automating the real world, and that's why you'll need hoards of developers to iterate, debug and customize robots coded using AI. The job won't involve typing code in an IDE anymore, so maybe you can question whether it is actual "development." But the only jobs left in the future will technical people who understand how software and AI works.
