Consider the bias. The people who do imagine the death of the programmer are not people who have ever written a software application. It’s like calling for the death of the novel, and yet there are still people reading and writing books. It’s also like the death of the accountant, or the medical doctor. I don’t see MedMD eliminating the physician.
I do eventually see jobs eliminated though, why bother with React developers if AI can already write React/JSX better? It’s like any other form of industrialization. It’s the low skill/administrative jobs that are eliminated, like the many jobs eliminated by the photocopier in the 50s.

This is why some people are concerned and some have nothing to worry about. A machine can replace a street sweeper, because pushing a broom is a low skill task. The kinds of people that design or drive street sweeping machines are not the people replaced.
