I think people underestimate the level of general intelligence required to write even seemingly basic "glue-code" (which btw, 90+% of software consists of). If we ever get an AI which can write complex enough "glue code" with a low enough failure rate to replace even junior developers, it's going to cause much, much bigger impacts than people losing jobs. The "boilerplate" and "bureaucracy" which is currently handled by "average" folk...that's what runs the world. If we ever develop AI which can handle that kind of work, barring some constraint like extreme resource usage or disaster like climate change; we'll either be brought into a utopia due to productivity being multiplied, or a dystopia due to a small minority getting control over the world to a precise, extreme extent no small minority has control now.
