I got into software because it was a good way to solve a broad class of problems. Not because I have some obsession with actually writing code. You can fight the tools and risk becoming obsolete, or you can embrace the tools and adapt to continue to solve problems and deliver value. Just like business users cannot adequately convey requirements to off-shore development firms, they won't be able to get the most use out of ML generated code. They don't know the details of what problems they are trying to solve, nor do they know how to implement the coded suggestions in a production ready capacity. There is still a lot of technical work required to use these tools. The "real" value technical folk provide is being able to decipher and translate business speak to implementation. The only people who should be really worried are those who want to hide in their basement and just program against tickets implementing discrete tasks. The technical folk who actually understand business objectives and are effective at communicating with business folk should still have a long lucrative career ahead of them.
