- Compilers will make developers irrelevant ... - Compilers can write assembly language code - Compilers have -O3 now etc... Maybe we should rejoice. I remember dreading writing documentation, and now I would happily hand that off to AI.

It is indeed exciting (for you at least). The problem is for most people is not that AI is spewing out code and reading documentation while developer do more interesting things. It is that companies are handing over the job of those developers to AI itself. So those ex-developers are free to do most interesting things in the world with little change of not relying on nice, steady paychecks every month.
