"writing code" is a tiny part of what "a career in software" means. You haven't begun to understand the complexity of systems if you think the code part is the dominant part of this career space.

coding is thinking. coding is systematising. coding is reasoning. coding is optimising over generic or less optimal solutions. coding is understanding the complexities behind problems. coding is problem solving.

you think the "approaching AGI" is going to magically replace all the myriad ways this manifests in one go?
