I would be surprised if AI completely replaces developers in the next 30 years, even. I think your last sentence is extremely accurate - outsourced junior .NET roles might be affected, but, other things require more nuance.

I can see AI being at best a coding aid for a long while. For example, it would be really nice to have AI show you code examples for different problems you’re having, like you see now from Stack Overflow and stuff like that. That’s a far cry from taking over the entire development pipeline though. Lol
