How will software developer jobs look like in 10-15 year?

What software developer jobs? We're in year 3 after ChatGPT was introduced, and an AI wrote almost all my code in the past two weeks. I describe a feature and how it can be implemented, and within seconds, the feature is already working in my dev environment, often with a level of quality beyond what I would have produced myself. Extrapolating this to year 10 or 15 doesn't leave much hope for the future of human developers.

Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, there will be three or four development tiers left: 1. model development and optimization, 2. data pool management, 3. downstream consumers of item 1, and 4. everything else

1. Cleaning up the junk left after the AI bubble burst. 2. Debugging code you didn’t write and didn’t really spec. 3. “Would you like fries with that?”
