Maybe the important qualifier here is in “web developer” in the title.
That job title might simply become obsolete. When I entered the workforce around the turn of the millennium, there were people with titles like “webmaster” and “rich media designer”. Those don’t exist anymore. It’s not that the work has disappeared, but it’s been restructured and refined.
Developers and designers will always be needed, but the vaguely generic category of a web developer may be replaced.

At least that's where I'm transitioning, but not just prompting like using langchain and such for ai apps but I consider it prompt engineering or at least the dumber side of ai for those of us without masters in machine learning. I'm not sure if there's a name yet for what's essentially scripting and ai engineering without building the models etc...
