Better tools that accelerate how fast engineers can produce software? That's not a threat, just a boon. I suspect the actual transition will just be people learning/focusing on somewhat different higher level skills rather than lower level coding. Like going from assembly to c, we're hoping we can transition more towards natural language.

> junior to mid level software engineering will disappear mostly People don't magically go to senior. Can't get seniors without junior and mid to level up. We'll always need to take in and train new blood.
