Not on the map. Why?

Abstract (arXiv)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology such as Large Language Models (LLMs) have become extremely popular in creating code. This has led to the conjecture that future software jobs will be exclusively conducted by LLMs, and the software industry will cease to exist. But software engineering is much more than producing code -- notably, maintaining large software and keeping it reliable is a major part of software engineering, which LLMs are not yet capable of.
