I don't trust the predictions that software developers will be obsolete. The culture of Silicon Valley encourages this kind of chest thumping. On the other hand, the predictions for PCs and the web, the big things of my career in tech, were similarly bombastic, but they were wrong. The web was huge, just not in the ways people thought it would be.

This matches my own thoughts as well. The people closest to the tech have historically been very bad at predicting its impact and adoption.

While software development has undoubtedly been changed forever I don't see it going away.

One Battle After Another is simultaneously terrible and amazing. Or rather it narrowly avoids being terrible while trying its hardest to stink. The script is absurd, the subject matter is clique and it's far too literal to be traditionally good. Somehow though it's very very good.

It's almost made better by the fact that it is constantly pushing at the edge of being bad. I could easily see it being a B grade cult classic if it had a smaller budget or less skilled actors.

Instead it's nominated for best picture and manages to pull off a death defying dare devil act.
