I couldn't agree more.
And this kind of fear mongering is particularly irritating when you see that our industry already faced a similar productivity shock less than twenty years ago: before open source went mainstream github and library hubs like npm we used to code the same things over and over again, most of the time in a half-backed fashion because nobody had time for polishing stuff that was needed but only tangentially related to the code business. Then came the open-source tsunami, and suddenly there was a high quality library for solving your particular problem and the productivity gain was insane.
Fast forward a few years, does it look like this productivity gains took any of our jobs? Quite the opposite actually, there has never been as many developers as today.
(Don't get me wrong, this is massively changing how we work, like the previous revolution did, and how job is never going to be the same again)
