I think what will actually happen will be much funnier. Everyone's so caught up in chasing AGI that they're forgetting that all this shit is severely computationally expensive, and the cost will be pushed onto the consumer like it is with cloud computing (itself a very expensive option compared to traditional web hosting). Once we finally get this hypothetical AI that can code and debug perfectly, the cost to run it will likely be as much as just having an H1B do the job. At that point I think SWE will make a comeback, but salaries will be half as much as they are now because you'll be competing with (an expensive) AI.
