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.

Hard disagree, I’ve been agentic coding the past couple of months and have written maybe 100 lines doing this for a living.

The rest is coming up with SDDs and reviewing AI’s code.

I can easily see most devs, doctors and lawyers automated away in the next couple of years.

Very much agree.

I am overemployed with 3 dev jobs at once. AI is writing virtually all my code and letting me nap all day. Eventually that will end once people see the power of them.
