You're witnessing the rise of the Developer Technician or Software Technician. They can get a machine to print out an application but you will still need an engineer to know how it works or to get it working. This used to be juniors learning to be senior devs/engineers. Now it is a split between technicians and engineers. The market will be up shit creek when all their technicians can't vibe code their way out of not understanding the code.
