I think we will see this lead to a boost in software developer employment.

I doubt it, the narrative is that software engineering is dead and everything will be replaced by AI, so that salaries can continue to be depressed. Just like the original passing didn't really cause much trouble in the general market this repeal will mostly just produce more shareholder value.

Anyone who knows anything about software and has used AI for more than 24 hours knows that AI won't be "replacing" software engineering anytime soon.

ive been coding 5+ hours a day almost every day for 15 years. i think ai will replace 70% of SWE in the near future. not employement, but 70% of the current work done by engineers

I’ve been coding 5+ a day since the late 80s

And I agree. Because ultimately we don’t need that much code in the first place. We need robust data sets.

AI models will enable the data driven machine state dream. Chips that self improve models will boot strap from them and rely on humans to iteratively improve updates.

Coding like it’s 1970 in the 2020s and beyond is not that high tech.
