Ask HN: Devs who knows how to scale will have the last laugh in future dev?

Isn't it really obvious at this point in software engineering world, however the dev trend goes, AI replacing engineers or AI coexist with minimal engineers or automation slowly swallows bottom up in the dev hierarchy,

the engineers who knows servers, networking, scaling (Load, DB), distributed computing, hardware level competencies, Ops, Extensive Infra knowledge will have the ultimate last laugh in all this?

Like, it will be the last remaining frontier where battles will slowly cease to exist?
