I agree with all of this, but we as developers should expect requirements gathering, architecture, planning etc to be increasingly aided by AI to the point that fewer engineers/managers are needed to oversee ambitious projects. We've gone from effectively no AI to PhD-level intelligence (in some respects) in five years or so, and AI is now recursively improving itself faster than humans can do it. We are in for big changes in our day to day and need to be cognizant that our skills today won't be as valuable tomorrow, and will remain in decline for the foreseeable future.
