I wasted too much time and energy trying to look for an answer to this, and the only one I ended up with was:
Frontend at higher risk, but other than that it doesn't really matter. If LLMs continue to succeed, no dev field is safe. We might all have to become product managers or systems analysts.
There is nowhere within dev that you can safely pivot to, because the most in-demand fields also have the biggest datasets (from online/PDF content) and if LLMs replace frontend dev roles, it won't be long before they effectively replace or transform backend roles, DevOps, SRE, gamedev, etc. It all largely depends on whether or not we hit a ceiling in the next 2-3 years as the next frontier models are released. If we're still rapidly progressing by then, it won't matter because by the time you've learned a whole new domain, Claude Opus N will be around the corner to catch up to you. If we do hit a ceiling, then it won't matter because, well, we hit a ceiling. So you can stay in your favorite dev field for the time being.
