Not without some major advancements in the technology. As good as Claude 3.5 Sonata v2 is, it still can't do more than a quarter of what I do on a day to day basis, and still makes tons of mistakes. I guess if you spin up fresh CRUD apps or greenfield web apps for a living, you might be in danger, because they are really good at doing that. On an established codebase, especially with more than the low tens of thousands of lines of code, their usefulness is mostly relegated to writing boilerplate that can be explained in plain English. I'd be surprised if 85% of programmers were spending their days doing that, though. Even if it was that serious, I don't see software engineers who can leverage LLMs and keep learning with the rest of their field being in much danger. The average software shop that I'm familiar with has a massive backlog of things to be done, and more direction than they have steam. We're pretty far from the point where almost any professional programmer will be saying "We finished all our work and there's nothing left to do".
