Will Software Engineers Stay In Demand

Will software engineers ever stop being in demand? There are two schools of thought. Those with a background in business see developers as commodities and fully believe that programmers will program themselves out of a job field. The idea is that in some distant future, jobs like project manager, product manager, and marketing manager will still be critical but programmers themselves will be extinct as a result of the tools they created. The other school of thought is hard to understand because the programmers are laughing so hard they can’t talk.

A screenshot of a social media post discussing whether software engineers will eventually become obsolete. The punchline is that programmers find the idea so funny that they are laughing too hard to respond, mocking predictions that programming tools will eliminate programmers.
