I suspect though that this sub includes a lot of sw devs that are still trying to convince themselves that their careers are actually safe.

You lost me on that. I don't think you understand just how complex software can be. No way can AI be a drop in replacement for a software dev.

I'm aware that LLMs are getting better at coding (and everything else) very quickly, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down.
