Those people don't exist.

Sure they do - there are a lot of people who thrive working with concrete technologies and solve relatively straight forward issues (implement this component - style work).

These people will see a brutal job market that is forcing them to take more responsibility and work at a higher level of abstraction.

This is nothing new - A bunch of people simply don't thrive well as knowledge workers. The bar for being a knowledge worker is going to go up - by a lot.

I've worked in many places on many teams and never met anyone that essentially does nothing besides write code...

I question the obsession engineers have with their "code writing" being replaced by a machine.

Do you really think that's the value you bring to the table?

Non-engineers don't want to sit down and think about anything, they don't want to sit down and test that thinks actually work, they don't want to think about all the failure cases that could go wrong besides a few shallow tests, and they definitely don't want to have to pick up the mess if something does go wrong...

This is what you get paid to do. Coding is a small part of that.

You are on point: The developers of the future need to hold much more of the domain that is being developed for. It is not a job to write JSX and tailwind classes anymore, so you need to move up in abstraction - and complexity.

Not all can do that.
