Well that's why I said I think there's two possible outcomes. If the AI is so good that you don't need to think about the code or architecture at all (which isn't quite the same thing as whether you looked at the code or not) I think most work goes away in general. In this case there may be less demand for software because there will be little to use software for in the first place.

This does seem likely to me, no matter what. But:

In World #1, I imagine there will be someone whose job it is to produce the software, yes, and they'll probably do a much better job if they have a strong conception of how software and computers work.
