"What is the software "end game"?"
IMO, the point at which the software can "understand" human articulation and make improvements; improvements to itself, to the system it operates within, to the world we live within. I'm thinking along the lines of the Star Trek universe as presented in TNG and later. They just ask the software for something and it complies. Human intelligence and creativity are still required, but no one has to "write software" any longer.
If you limit your question to current technology (I mean those things that we have now, and we can foresee - not those that will require some unknowable leap in scientific understanding), then the answer is 'no time soon.' This is because every founder, every manager, every customer has some "unique" change or feature request and some other human will have to build it.
