      A robot won’t replace individual programmers. AI and improved processes will mean quicker code review and less programmers needed. There will be a net loss of programmer jobs but an individual programmer won’t be replaced. Rather the remaining programmers create more (as a percent, not absolute) code with better tools.

        If less programmers are needed that means some programmers are being replaced

          Yes. But its by attrition. There won’t be a programmer replaced by AI directly. Their colleagues will take over their work and have higher workloads but be more efficient. That’s ways been the way.
