If more and more machines can write code for themselves, what do we need humans for? To write the code for the machines that write the code.
My degree in Computer Science is from 1980 - 40 years ago. And 40 years before that, in 1940, there was pretty much no such thing as a computer. Hmmm.

I was writing code that wrote code that wrote code in the ‘80s. And much of the time since then. I’ve been automating myself “out of a job” for decades.

And then to describe to the machines that write code what code they need to be writing.
Advances in this field has never resulted in fewer programmers. Instead they wind up with more programmers writing more code faster.
