Sure. Software engineers are actually the best situated to take advantage of this new technology. Your concern would be like once C got invented, why should you bother being a software engineer? Because C is so much easier to use than assembly code! The answer, of course, is that software engineering will simply happen in even more powerful and abstract layers. But, you still might need to know how those lower layers work, even if you are writing less code in that layer directly.
