It's the AI hype group which are in a stage of denial.
"Surely if we generate code, it means we can replace developers right?"
Well no, it's not nearly enough. Good code generation with a UI is already a thing since the 90s, it's replacing developers as much as Frontpage and WordPress do.
The average developer writes 100 lines per day anyways so the speed of writing those lines doesn't matter.
Software is an interpersonal job at core and the most precise definition of a business.
The day software engineers are replaced by a machine, there's no job for the CEO itself honestly and that's also why this job is well paid. I'm sure it will be all over LinkedIn though, despite this paradox.
Those new tools will be there in the background but cannot replace a software engineer.
