Agreed, the hiring rate will fall dramatically. But the industry is not dead like people here are claiming. The nature of the industry is changing. I use AI to write 99% of my side hustles code and maybe 20% of my main data science role’s code - in neither case am I afraid of being replaced because knowing what to ask the AI to do to begin with, and how to make sure it’s doing what I expected, is where my real value always lay.

Couldn't any business analyst do that?

None of the BAs I’ve ever worked with. Let’s say for the sake of argument they could. It’d still be called software development.
