There are plenty of people who believe that. The date of AGI according to 700 people is 2033, so probably an AI that can code as well as humans will be ready a few years before that.
Tbh, as soon as GPT-5 or something as powerful Drops and it's capable of programming its successor AGI/Sentient AI is coming nearly immediately aftwards, so I hope you guys are all onboard for the new ai overlords.
As a software engineer who existing limited tools daily: actually programmers will definitly be gone. i do think there will be something along the lines of "llm supervisor"/ "Person who fixes bugs in llm code that it cant" but such a drastically lower number of them.
like probably for every 100 programmers now there will be a few.. and it will mostly be the engineers not developers. most developers right now are given a series of bug or simple feature request tickets that LLM's now can do the majority of the work on. i cant imageine in 5-10 years
